Also thanks to all that mentioned Terry at Jet Bullets. I should be full steam ahead on this cartridge now.
Sorry if I was a little abrupt but 375 Win brass goes for gold prices. It is REALLY easy to resell for big bucks and you can but 4 times the amount of 30-30 brass or 2 times the 38-55 brass for what you can get for the 375 stuff. I always hate to see a really expensive option used when it produces inferior results to the cheaper stuff. Also, because I have 375s as well as 38-55s I would never want to get my 375 loads into one of my 38-55s by mistake. I save the 375 brass just for the 375s.

I thought I was being diplomatic but it is hard to convey tone in typed messages. Glad you found some brass.
