    Old Sillywett cartridge

    How many remember the old .375 SM cartridge. It was at one time the #1 cartridge for revolver silhouette.

    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    Like the $50 Army Jeep you used to see advertised in old Fields & Stream classifieds---

    I've heard about it, but never seen one.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!

    Wow!!! Had not seen that in a bit. I had one in a TC at one point. Guy at my club wanted it more than I did! Sent it and all the brass down the road.

    Remember it. Almost got my hands on one of the DW revolvers.

    I bought a box of brass & turned it into 30 Herrett, no trimming required.
    A 375 Super Mag Dan Wesson was on my "gotta get one" list. Got married instead.
