Pictures of my recent acquisition:
So far I've only fired it to fire-form some 30-30 brass.
I know 30-30 brass isn't ideal but I should be able to match the .44 Magnum's power level. Magnum pressure is lower that the 30-30's. I'd even be satisfied to get 12-1300 fps with a 250 gr. bullet.
And new dies to go with it!
I need more loading data for the 375 SM. Anyone?
I'm a lucky guy, world on a string!

I've got a few hundred rounds of .30-30 brass that I have reloaded about five times now & so far, all is well. I don't load too hot, but I do keep a close eye on each one as I reload. I think I'll probably discontinue using them once some start to show signs of wearing out.
Congrats on landing your .375, I'm sure you will love shooting it! That round is one of my favorites to shoot. Here's a pic of mine.

That is excellent!
I like that ammo in the picture, too.
I'm taking a break from making fire-form loads this afternoon to check my email.
Got the rest of the day off from work.

A man cannot have too many SuperMags

you need a .445, an old Monson one, and need to fireform some .30-40 Krag brass, and trim and re-do, and trim again, and then.. WRING out some hot shee-ite .445 mag loads.. they will make your face hurt, your cheecks will press back like those old photos of guys on a centrifuge machine.. all good.
glad to see some loading going on...ba bang..

Or you could just buy some 445 brass brand new from Starline, no forming, no trimming required.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

Nice score with some really nice dies. Love the .375SM, it is as pleasant to shoot as it's smaller brother.
I'm using 20.5 grains of H-4227 or 21 grains of IMR-4227 with the 220 grain Hornady bullet in mine. That is using SuperMag brass or cut-down .375 Winchester brass. Just found out Hornady has permanently discontinued that bullet. 
Here's mine, bought back in 2005.

Edited April 21, 2021: I restored Dean's photo and added two more of this beautiful gun. I think it looks the best with the DWCA grips!
