Henry Rifle Forums

Hi all
I live in the State of Ohio where in a High Power Rifle or Pistol Cartridge Rifle they must shoot anything from a .357 and Up in a Straight Walled Cartridge, to satisfy the Ohio Game Laws. So earlier in this fall I went out and picked up a Ruger American in the New Winchester 350 Legend Round to Deer Hunt with this coming Ohio Deer Gun Season. And folks I tell ya with the Hornady 170 Grain weight bullets shoot unreal out of this Rifle. I hope that Henry will put this into their MFG of Single Shoot Rifles for next year. As this is a very Awesome Pleasant rifle to shoot for sure... Also a Sigle Shot 28 Ga Sotgun and a Single Shot 16 Ga would sure be Sweet as well too. Hi Anthony....

Have a friend who just built one in an AR, he likes it and is carrying his next weekend as a backup gun for the Missouri deer opener.

Well my buddy got his buck with his new legend.
Sat afternoon, about 110yds.,with 180 gr pill.
His load. Hit it right in the spine, said he did have to finish him with one through the neck.

I don't know why a rifle in .375 Win. caliber would not work as well or better.

Or a 38-55

When I bought my Marlin 375 brand new, it was because at the time Marlin did not make a 38-55. I still have the rifle.

They were made in the 1893's, later believe 90's they made some Cowboys in the 1894's.
That's what I want. They made some with a 26" barrel.
There are a couple on GB right now but they are the 24" ones.

Ohio laws state.
Straight-walled cartridge rifles in the following calibers: All straight-walled cartridge calibers from a minimum of .357 to a maximum of .50. Shotguns and straight-walled cartridge rifles can be loaded with no more than three shells in the chamber and magazine combined.
So would this be legal?

But not a 30-30

I was referring to a new Marlin in 1980 . The .375 was only made in a Marlin for a few years and I was lucky to get one before they started with the crossbolt safety.

Ok, Is it right that you can shoot 38-55's in in the 375, but not the other way around?
Pressures I'm thinking?

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.
