Mick, I think I'm with you on the .375 Flanged Magnum.

But I am not opposed to the .375 Belted Magnum either. Lots of people sit in their armchairs and opine that the belted round is unacceptable for being "high pressure" and "rimless". I find neither feature particularly distracting. I load my belted magnum to the "Graeme Wright recommended load" for .375 Flanged, which he tested at 14 tons. There goes the "high pressure" issue. This load is mild and regulates fine. On the other issue, I have never had any difficulty with rimless extraction in any of my double rifles.

I agree that the best of all worlds is a flanged cartridge of low to moderate pressure. On the other hand, there's something really satisfying when I order 100 rounds of .375 Belted Magnum from Midway for peanuts.

By the way, I have one .375 Flanged Magnum and two .375 Belted Magnum double rifles.
