I just got a bag of WW Super 375 WIN brass. It has to be cut down for the 375SM and I have no idea how to do that. Hack saw??
Here's some pics of the brass. Is this the right stuff?

I use a fine tooth hack saw to convert 30-30 cases into 30 Herrett brass. There is a die you run the brass up in and saw along the top of the die, then trim the brass to spec. I don't know about 375 but I am sure one of the guys will jump in soon with all the right info.

I think I would have thought of a tubing cutter, at least.
I have no idea what the proper way is to trim brass, yet. But I bet LB's right, someone will pop in here & learn us all a thing or two.

I am eager to learn the correct answer to this question also as I have pondered making my own brass for some time for this caliber also. I just keep loading the brass I already have till I uncover the mystery
. I have about 70-pieces of 375 Winchester cut down and two boxes of IHMSA correct brass to work with in the mean time......

Harbor Freight has a mini cutoff saw that works great. It's on sale for 25 bucks. The guys over at SP love it for wildcats. You get the length very close and true up the case with your case trimmer.

I'm at work so pictures are out of the question. but I have been using a forester case trimmer for 20+ years on 375 winchester bras and 30 herret, match sizing any 44, 445sm,357m 357sm, etc works good! there are other manufacturers so skip the hack saw buy the trimmer and pilots aa drill can be mounted on the crank handle or if money is not an object they do have powered units. check e-gouge and good luck!

Get a fingernail clipper set, one with the small metal nail-file. Those wood ones will just break. Carefully file the edges of the case til you reduce the length from 2.02" down to 1.61". Shouldn't take more than a week for one case.
