Re: Browning 1895 35 Whelen AI

Thank you for the replies. So, as stated, would extending chamber be good for lowering peak pressures for this conversion? Is there calculations and/or formula that one can do to figure out exactness of extension. JES Enterprises is near where I am located. Thanks again.

Re: 375 Payne Express in Browning 71.

So, I've been told that 375 Payne Express reamer may be hard to obtain. It was suggested that either 375-348 Scovill or 375-348 Ackley Improved conversion reamers are available. Anybody have any experience/recommendations for either cartridge? Another question. I have saved over 400 (non-shot) 348 b...

Re: 375 Payne Express in Browning 71.

Welcome to the forum. Using Google, I did not find ballistic information on the .375 Payne Express. So, no answers, but a question. .375 minus .348 = .027 inch (27 thousandths inch); what great advantage over the current chambering does this provide? Just asking. :?: In reading Ackley's books, I fo...
