| Welcome to the best single shot pistol cartridge! Hold on to it with both hands. One on the grip and one on the forearm. Makes a lot of difference. Mine has brake and it is still impressive. On both ends. |

| I like mine! Shoots well and hits hard! Mine is braked.

| Dave, it can be a beast. I shot a few mid-range loads with the 250-grain Sierra and called it a day. Not abusive with good grips, but just not terribly pleasant. I'll bet it would make a hell of a cast bullet handgun.

| If you hold on with both hands it is not that bad. |

| Bill Falin wrote in Accurate's reloading manual's 375 JDJ page that it was the only (Contender) caliber to blow the doors off of their shooting shed.

| Mine is braked, and it is by far the loudest thing I have shot. Even with plugs and muffs it is fairly obnoxious. I really want to try it for elk next year.

| I have a 375 jdj contender carbine .That thing bent the scope mount once it kicked so hard. I shoot 338 win mag and 416 rem mag alot but this this carbine which weighs 4 3/4 pounds kicks like a mule .It blew open once. I like the 375 Winchester way better .It has just as much power but way less kick ! |

| The 375 Winchester seems to be very accurate too. At least all claimed it to be (lever gun or Contender)with RL-7 and I believe it to be 235(?) grain bullet.
