It's interesting that the advertisement for this carbine lists the caliber as ".375 H&H Magnum", when it is obviously .375 RIMLESS NITRO EXPRESS (9.5 X 56 MANN. SCH.). I hope no one is led astray by this.
As it was put together by Holland & Holland on a M-Sch M1905 (9x56 M-Sch) action, it may also be H&H's own proprietary early .375 cartridge, the .400/.375 belted Nitro Express aka .375 Velopex. The .375 H&H Magnum is too long to fit into any Mannlicher-Schoenauer action.
