Do as u like but you are using the worst choice for brass. If u cant find 38-55 then u are much better off necking up 30-30 than subing in 375. The 375 brass willl substantially up your pressures without getting u the velocity that is possible using the thinner brass. 38-55 vrass is available by mail from a number of places in Canada. Try bullet barn, rusty wood trading
Raynershine and xreload for starters
