Great gun and a bit rare. I have one, heck of a shooter. Ammo is scarce but available, best if you reload.
357 Maxi, 375 SM, 445 SM (blue & SS), 44Rhino & .357 Mags V15 & W12, .460 Rowland, pre-CZ Pointman 1911 .45acp, modern Guardians in 9mm & .45acp, Pointman 9mm and Razorback 10mm. Always on the lookout for something new!

Greetings AABEM
Another 375 shooter here. Fine revolvers... Reloading is the best way to have these as a regular use tool. And if you cast your own slugs then you can be as versitile as your imagination takes you. From round ball to 280 grains everything in between can be shot accurately.
I use the Lyman 375248 for a general purpose bullet. It will take deer as well as any old 38-55 black powder load did.
The 375449 mold is a gas check type that gives better velocity and pressure gains and will easily harvest any 4 legged corn cruncher and pig under 300 pounds out there hit properly.
There are heavier bullets out there but you start getting into stabalization issues unless you can push them fast enough. That is why most shooters stick to the under 240 grainers. I do not shoot jacketed but there is lots of info out there on the 220 grainers at laser speeds.

Mike, what are you doing in Peru? I lived there for a few years, working in the mining biz.

Show us a pic of that nice .375 SM you have. I appreciate the information on those bullets. I use the the Hornady .220 gr. FP which are super accurate.

That is the second rarest SuperMag, glad you have one. I really like mine, it is a great shooter out to 200 meters.

I will give it a shot. Others can correct if I miss.
Rarest to most common.
320 supermag, unknown if it really exists (never seen in captivity)
460 supermag, only one in existence. The proto type gun.
414 supermag, 25 made at Palmer, unknown number made at Norwich.
375 supermag, only made in blue, no stainless models.
445 supermag
357 supermag
Feel free to elaborate anyone who knows more.

Would the .460 Supermag be instead the .460 Rowland? Beautiful gun, I have one.

Yes, the 460 SM is not the same as the 460 Rowland. As LB stated, only one is known to have been made. A member here owned it at one time, but it's since been sold. Here's a couple of his pics...

LB has it correct. I didn't use the .320 SuperMag, with none known to exist, or the .460 SuperMag, with only a prototype made, as these were never publicly available.
That said, the .414 SuperMag is the rarest of those sold to the public. There were only 25 made at Palmer, these were the last of the 50 serial numbers originally assigned. The first 25, reserved for the Gates family, were never built.

My DW´s are in storage up north there. ASAP I will get pictures up here when we get back up north this June. It is a standard 8" Slotted Blue model. Have shot as light as 220 grain cast but I cannot write I was real thrilled with it. Settled on the 255-265 weight as they penetrate much better and pose no problem getting up to 1350 fps with slower type powders.
We are missionaries down here in the Arequipa area. Have sarted Baptist Churches here in town & in two mountain villages. Been here 26 years. Sadly magnum revolvers are highly restricted along with many rifle calibers.

Hi Mike,
I've been to Arequipa many times! Lived in Peru for a number of years, working as a consulting to a number of the mines, so got to Arequipa for work on the Cerro Verde mine plus the bi-annual mining convention there (which is huge - in Sept, I think).
While I lived there I never tried to figure out the gun laws so I left my collection in North America. I know people own guns and there's even a gun store in the shopping mall at Jockey Plaza in Lima. So you know what the restrictions are?

Good morning Mark
Laws are somewhat based on... No military calibers and no magnums. But there are exceptions. Like 308 caliber rifles.. easy to buy and have but then they are not marked 7.62x51. Not supposed to be able to buy military ammo but 7.62 is plentiful everywhere. Peru has not used a 45ACP since 1980 but it is still restricted to target use by registered club members. And the list goes on.. So me I happily stick with 38 Special revolvers... 44-40 Winchester 92´s and the one Colt New Service 44-40 I have seen here. As these are obsolete calibers there are no restrictions. I trust no congress person will ever look at balistics and what can be accomplished with obsolete calibers.
Black powder is sold openly but smokeless is not as it is to dangerous. What a wacky world we inhabit.
