[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 1122383, member: 18752"] I actually hunt with a Marlin 38-55. Straight wall, does great with cast bullets or Barnes Original in the plus size (.377 instead of .375). A .375 Winchester cartridge is nothing but a modernized and standardized 38-55. You might be able to find a Marlin or Winchester lever gun chambered in .375 Winchester. A handi-rifle might be had in either or these calibers. To me, 38-55 is very accurate, hard hitting, and MUCH kinder than a 45-70. I bought a Marlin 336 in 38-55 to allow me to stand down my Marlin 1893 in the same caliber. I can load more modern pressures with the 336 version than the 1893 (it was pre Modern Steel), Just my 2 cents. rch [/QUOTE]
