including the 7mm SM, 305 SM, 357 SM, 375 SM,414 SM, 445 SM, 505 SM, and 610 SM. All were the original 1.610 in length. Of the 9 Super Mag cartridges developed, only the 7mm Super Mag, 357 Super mag, 375 Super mag, 414 Super Mag, And the 445 Super Mag ever saw light of day.I was lucky enough to get the first 2 375 Super Mag revolvers released and used the up at Tellico Junction on a monster White Fallow deer. Good friend Jack Pitcher used the second gun and also shot a white fallow deer. Both deer were still in velvet.
