Is it worth the trouble (and is it possible) to convert a 30-30 MDL 94 to a .375 Win?

I'm just thinking out loud about what to do with this rifle...

Is this the only cartridge based on the 30-30 that is "bigger" than the parent case?

Not a good idea. Win reinforced the 94 for that cartridge.

Could go .38-55 which is much the same thing but much lower pressures.

It would be better to just buy an old winchester in 38-55 or a newer wincheser in 375. Savage made some 99's in 38-55 too.
