[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2855950, member: 36951"] I have killed with both 375JDJ and 358JDJ. The 35 seems better in every way: bullet selection, versatility, speed, trajectory, terminal ballistics/effect, enough shoulder to prevent headspace issues in the single shot. I mostly use cast in the 358. Favorite is an NOE 230 Ranch Dog design. Flat nose really hits hard. The 200 Sierra RN is also a winner. I can use 125 xtps or 310 cast fn and anything in between. A shortened Lee collet crimper from 35 Whelen solves all the chambering issues from belling case mouths. The 375, even in a 26” encore, cant get most jacketed .375 bullets to perform. The blunt 375Win bullets do work, though. The only warning I can give is the 14” 358 in a contender (sbr’d) rifle is almost unbearably loud. A suppressor or ear muffs are mandatory, even when hunting. Well, also the bug bites and all of a sudden you have a dozen barrels. [/QUOTE]
