.375 Supermag is it for this revolver.  I do not know of any other cartridge you can use in this chamber.

 

For BA's, I have managed to find a 6" vented and an 8" VH in roll marked Monson style originals.  I also have a custom 9-1/4" heavy that Keith made for me in CZ after I located a custom barrel.  That is all I have witnessed on the .375SM

 

SMF 

Thanks again for the info!

Would love to see the 6" vented barrel on your super mag. Any chance of a pic?

And as an update, I still haven't heard back on a price yet. I will let you guys know as soon as I get a number.

I will try to find dome time to do this.  I can maybe display all the variants I have on this caliber.

Any luck with the pics?

And just a little update, I still haven't gotten a price yet, but I did ask again today to let them know I still want it.

Just a thought as the 740 did not sell I would think it is over priced or lacking in some way  

 

I would buy the one you are looking at for the 700 maybe 750+ if it came my way! 

 

Keep us posted!

Just to add my two cents I have two barrel versions one is the typical 8"vented and slotted blue and the other is the 8" vented heavy blue. Both are Monson assy. Good luck! the IHMSA brass does come up from time to time, other wise 375 winchester brass works great all that is needed is to turn the cases down to super mag specks. 1.610" lenght. In my area there seems to be alot of 375 winchester brass available.goodluck

so, i know i am resurecting an old thread, but i finally got a price from the person with the Super Mag, and I will be buying it for sure drool

i was also able to take some measurements off it today for cast bullet sizes and i was able to pull the barrel & shroud off. the shroud was a little sticky on the barrel but after a little work, it popped off. i gave it a quick wipedown with oil and put a little greese on the threads and all was well. i was so happy the barrel wasnt stuck and that it came apart so easily. the gun does need a good scrubbing, but the gun overall is in amazing shape.

i also took a peak at the underside of the top-strap to see if there was any flame-cutting, and not a single bit of cutting at all. so happy.

i will get new pics of the gun once the transfer goes through drool

On my short list!  375 plus a few others!  Not sure I would have informed to much but you will sleep well having known you helped them out!    Nice snag is it in hand yet?

Not in hand yet unfortunately. im not too concerned as its stored safely and i know nothing will happen to it.

Im also not in a huge hurry yet, as i still need to load some rounds. i have everything except powder and primers, just waiting till the prices come down a little and  start to become a little more available.

Even with this in mind, i still am anxious to get it as it is a beautiful gun.
