I just had to shoot the newest 375 win big bore 94 today .I had a blast .Yep it was unfired before I started.I shoot the regular 220 gr hornady bullets .I also shot some 225 gr spire points as first shot only .They shoot pretty good.Best of all I shot some light loaded 300 gr hornady fmj bullets just for fun.This is the least pickest lever gun I have ever shot.I had a 357 lever action just not enough power ,it seemed like shooting a bb gun compaired to the 375 win.I hope to put together a 375 jdj lever action some way some how.The 375 win is pretty hard to beat.

I have a very early Model 94 .375 and it's still new in the box. Beautiful gun!! Can't bring mysrlf to fire it...........yet. I may go out and pick up a nice used one to shoot.

I agree totally. I got one earlier this year and have been loving it. I am plinking with the little Speer 235. I like it so much I also grabbed a Marlin in 375 but haven't used it much yet. All Lever guns are fun to shoot.

I was lucky enough to come across a very low serial # 1978 BB94 last year. What a blast, indeed. I call it "Thumper." Maybe I should call it "Abra-cadabra" since when I pull the trigger on game, they simply disappear.

I'm loading the Hornady 220-gr. on top of 37-38 gr. of RL-7. I want to try AA1680, too, though. Supposedly, it'll get you up around 2,300 fps in muzzle velocity with the Hornady bullet, if that's your bag.

Here's a great article on the .375 WCF by some guy named Paco Kelly. Paco knows of what he writes, no doubt.

I only use aa1680 in my 375 win rifle .I love those speer 235 gr also just shoot them one at a time or you could have a big mess.I am going to try some more bullets including 270 gr speer.I want to shoot something with the speer 235 gr and the hornady 225 gr spirepoint.I dont know if the 375 jdj carbine will beat my 375 win that much.I think it will be a 100 fps at most.I want a 375 jdj lever action that will take more pressure than the contender.I think the 444 in winchester could be converted.I have had 4 375 big bore .I sold the one in the box to get another one and had money to boot.The 375 win is too good to die!!!!
