375 Westly Richards.......do you remember it?

This was Westley Richards attempt to create an proprietary .375 bore std length bolt gun cartridge.
It was to be a commercial version of the popular european 9.5x66 Super Express which is a shortened and necked down .404 Jeffery.
For some unknown reason Westley Richards decided not to proceed with the project.
Horneber do make brass, RCBS make dies.

An early version of the 376 Steyr

"it is based on the 9.3 x 64 Brenneke case, necked up to accept a 0.375-inch (9.5 mm) diameter bullet. The case is also shortened by about 4 mm to fit a standard length rifle action."
