The .375 Winchester is a modernized version of the .38-55 Winchester, a black powder cartridge from 1884. It was introduced in 1978 along with the Winchester Model 94 “Big Bore” lever action rifle.

Though very similar in appearance to the parent .38-55, the .375 has a shorter case length and operates at much higher pressures (52,000 CUP).
