The .375 ICL Mag and the .375 ICL Kodiak are the same cartridge, as far as I know. I have emailed you a PDF file of the data in the AccuLoad cartridge database.

Hello
Can you tell me if there are any features that signify an ICL round? Like the radius shoulders on Weatherby cases signify them?

I have heard of these, and seen a few pics in an old Ackley book. But never in person.

A few facts or history?
Thank You

The ICL (Improved Cartridge Line) was developed by Arnold Junke of the Santa Monica Gun Shop. Where the Ackley Improved cartridges have either a 28� or 40� shoulder angle, the ICL series are characterized by either a 35� or 45� shoulder. There's a bunch of them, too. I think the smallest is the .22 ICL Gopher, then the .224 ICL Benchrester, .224 ICL Marmot,.25 ICL Magnum, .257 ICL Whitetail,.277 ICL Flying Saucer, .300 ICL Grizzly, .300 ICL Grizzly Cub, .300 ICL Tornado, .30-06 ICL Caribou, .303 ICL Improved, .375 ICL Kodiak, 6.5mm ICL Boar, 6.5 ICL Magnum, 7mm ICL Tortilla, and the 7mm ICL Wapiti. (Whew, did I miss any?)
You've got to admire a man with the stones to name a cartridge the Flying Saucer or the Tortilla.

Dark Paladin,
I believe as HockeyPuck stated,the .375 ICL Mag.
and the .375 ICL Kodiac are the same rounds.It is an Improved version of the .375 H&H with a water capacity of 102.90 grs. compared to the 96.37 gr. capicity of the H&H.
The .375 AI Mag.{104.77 grs.},the .375 Barnes Supreme {105.56 grs.},.375 Mashburn Mag. Long {101.80 grs.},and the .375 Weatherby {104.59 grs}
may all be rechambered from the .375 H&H.making them all improved versions of the .375 H&H.

My cartridge book for conversions of cases, says I can fire factory ammo to create cases, so does this mean I can shoot 375 H&H without a problem?
