The 38-55 case is longer than the .375 Win. case and the bullet diameter of a 38-55 is about .378 or a little more. When I bought my rifle I bought a few boxes of new W.W. .375 brass. I also bought some 38-55 brass and trimmed it to the length of the .375 cases. Those I use only for mild cast bullet loads. When I look at the barrel of my rifle it says "Cal. 375 " so no I would not shoot 38-55 ammo . Can it be done, yes but so can you shoot a 270 in a 30-06 rifle.
