Can you shot 38-55 brass from a 375 Win?

Hi I can only get 38-55 brass and not 375 win brass.

Should I just buy 38-55 brass and run it through a 375 die and trim it?
From what I can see the difference is neck diameter and length!
Surely 38-55 brass sized and trimmed should be fine so long as you keep the loads at 38-55 levels, until 375 brass can be found?

Yes, You can shoot .38-55 in a .375 Win. The .38-55 brass is a little longer, so you might have to trim it. I'd check first. A lot of .375's will chamber it just fine. Some .375 Win Contender owners prefer .38-55 brass because it tends to hold more powder, due to thinner walls.
