I was again going over in my head should a person with a 1917 enfield in 35 whelen blow it out ot 358 norma mag? and when doing my mental gymnastics I wondered if anybody had ever necked the 375 to 358. I'm sure they have, but what wildcat is it?

I believe it was called the .350 G&H Magnum.

Mr. Perkins is indeed correct. Griffin & Howe brought out the identical cartridge approximately 80 years ago. Until Winchester made the .375 H&H available at a more reasonable price in America via the Model 70, the G&H Magnum was a fairly popular round, and many of them WERE chambered in American "Enfield" actions.

It would be roughly equivalent to the .358 STA

(shooting times Alaskan based on the 8mm Rem Mag case.)

An improved 8mm. From memory the ones I had were about .505 on the shoulder.
