Any Information........

I have checked all my books and can't find any information on the .375 Whelen/Whelen Ackley Improved.  Anyone here have data on either or both of these cartridges?  Lawdog

LD,
If you will PM me your email address, I can scan some info from Wolfe Publishings' Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges, also Wolfe's Wildcat Cartridges II.  I think both have articles on the 375 Whelen Imp.  Another resource would be Fred Zeglin, who makes the Hawk line of cartridges and rifles, he has a 375 Hawk which is an Improved 375 Whelen Improved (sort of, I guess).

Curious enough, the original 375 Whelen was originally known as the 38 Whelen.
