I picked up my Christmas present from my wife a couple of weekends ago.

I had some time this morning to take the Marlin 375 to the range for a short session. 100 yards, open sights and sand bags yielded this.

The only shells I have at the present are from Wisconsin Cartridge. I've been shopping the web for bullets, brass and receiver sights. I'm leaning towards the Williams FP. They have two different versions for the 336, one mounts with the side holes the other with the rear scope holes. Is there any advantage of one over the other?
I've been looking at various cast bullets for cheaper practice loads. I've come across some .376" and .377" bullets. I've also found a number of .379" and .380" bullets for the 38-55. Which brings me to my second question, does anyone have any experience buying oversized bullets and them resizing them yourself? Casting my own is not an option at this time. Thanks for any and all responses.

Congratulations. The 375 Win is a great cartridge. Looks like yours is a shooter too. I'd love to have a Marlin 375 to go with my Winchester 94 Big Bore.

Very nice. I recently posted on the .375 and lots of people here had lots of positive things to say. I like that marlin a lot!

Nice rifle! I have no experience with the 375, but I think you will prefer the Williams FP model over the WGRS. It is easier to adjust .

Congratulations not on the GUN, but on having a WIFE who understands what it means to be a GUY...!

I do believe the FP94/36 can be adjusted lower, closer to the receiver, than the FP336 (which is intended to mount in the top/scope mount holes).

Thanks to all.
TedH, yeah it looks like it has some potential.
rjohns94, I followed that thread and then researched old posts about the 375. Actually, I got the rifle from a fellow down your way.
AJMD429, thanks, 28 years and counting.
Hobie, thanks. And thanks again everyone.

Thanks Chris. We'll have to arrange a "play date" for my 375 and your 356.
