Lochorns is right. GO to sixgunner and Paco Kelly is the man when it comes to these winchesters big bores. He loads them way up and if memory serves me right said or did take cape buffalo. Or he knows of others that did and worked great. the win big bore 94 is in a different class than the marlins. Winchester is built better stronger and will stand much more pressure the marlins will. the 375 win big bore is the exact gun I am looking for. enjoy it I will when I get one.
