I read in one of the threads about wwhere the 375's were
manufactured and one of the statements was that most
were made in Palmer with few in Monson. Is that correct?
I had previously been informed that the only plant that
ever made the 375's was monson. Any help would be
appreciated. I own three of them and they are all
Monson made.

Yikes! Three of them. Wow!
I once considered buying one that was for sale here locally but passed on it as ammo/brass is so difficult to find. I reload but am not into resizing brass just yet.
IIRC, member 460smdave has a 375SM.

Starting with the 375 was a bit of a trick, but I found
this site; http://www.aco4u.com/ammo/amopist.html
He will sell you formed brass 50-rounds loaded
from 375 Winchester brass for around $50.00 plus
freight. then you have the brass to load with, that
is actually less expensive to get started than most
of the commercial big bore stuff like Casull
and the S&W 460. His handloads shoot well
and extract fine. I wasn't looking for a 3rd
375 really, but my local shop traded one in and
knew I collected and kept it for me. Ready?
$275.00, included 50 rounds of original
IHMSA brass and a set of Redding custom dies
It looked like the gun had rarely had the cylinder turned
I could not pass that up! There is a company called
Reeds that is selling ammo as well and Quality cartridge
from Maryland. I've tried some of the Quality cartridges
and they are OK.

$275??!! with brass and dies?? Incredible...
That may qualify for "Best DW deal ever..." -In fact, now that I think about it, maybe that would be a good forum topic...

If you want to get rid of that hogleg just let me know. As for ammo there is'nt much of a problem in turning down 375 winchester brass and sizing thru 375 win. dies. the only change that has to be made is in the length of the seating die. IMR 4227 powder and hornady 220 grain bullets and large rifle primers. I wont give powder weight but you can work that up out of the hornady loading book.

Wow, did you ever score a good deal! The dies themselves are going for $150. I have a .375 (only one) and it is a Monson gun. The .375's were all blue, no stainless ones were ever made. The interesting thing is that ll the barrels themselves are stainless...looks good showing through the blue shroud.
