Well owning double rifle in 500/450 3 1/4" magnum and 375 Flanged Magnum and magazine rifles in 375H&H belted magnum I would say yes.
The original magnum cartridges were large and bottle shaped but not necessarily the high pressure hotshots some modern magnums are. Except the old 375H&H I guess
Reading this is a bit of a reminder to me that the magnum label can mean a lot of different things to different people...... I love both the 375 H&H as well as the flanged version. Funny though, when I think about them, I don't think "magnum", I think medium bore. When I think magnum, I think .375 and .378 Weatherby, etc........ It is very easy to lose sight of the notion that there was a shorter less powerful .375 2 & 1/2" before the H&H et al.......
