When the custom shop had .375 Winchester barrels I kept thinking that would be a good caliber to have for my Contender. But I don't reload and didn't think factory ammo would be all that great in a pistol. Eventually I quit hunting and didn't didn't have any use for it other than plinking, and there's cheaper ammo for that. Like .44 Magnum or .223 Remington. If I want to shoot it really cheap I have a chamber adaptor for .22 LR that fits in the .223 barrel. Then all I have to do is turn the selector on the hammer to rimfire instead of centerfire.
Here's a picture of 2 .375 Win. cartridges with a .38-55 and .308 between them for size comparison. It's more or less a .30-30 case necked up as far as it will go "stuffed with a hat-full of powder" as I saw another cartridge described in a gun magazine years ago.
