375 what? There are several 375 chamberings i.e. Win, H&H and Ruger to name a few.

@Absarokee

I realize this thread is a few months old, but I talked to Hornady today and their next production run of 450 Marlin ammo is set for next month (June).  As I'm looking to add to my ammo supply as well.  So set notifications on all the online sites for when the ammo starts showing up again.

What kselkhunter posted above is a great idea. Several years ago I called Winchester about their next seasonal run of 375 Win ammo and they told me.  I talked to my local gun shop that had an ammo account with Winchester and they made it a point to have an order in place to get some for me as well as themselves. 

Another option for 375 Win ammo. is using 38-55 brass to reload. Of course do your research before reloading as always.  I bought some 38-55 brass new from Starline I believe.

Starline has 375 Win brass in stock, if you're a reloader.  So can make your own 375 Win ammo.


450 Marlin is harder though as Hornady stopped making the brass years ago and nobody else made that brass (and you can't form the brass from any other cartridge unfortunately).  So unless you can get your hands on the old brass, you're limited to their factory ammo and that brass after you fire it.   Which they only make the FTX ammo now, so the brass is 1/10" shorter than standard brass to accommodate their FTX bullets..
