It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. Due to the fact that the .375 Ruger produces somewhat similar performance to the .375 H&H, a full discourse on projectiles can be found within that text. For a couple of hundred bucks, a good gunsmith can tune the action and refine the trigger. With various loads running between 2600 and 2800fps, the Ruger packed plenty of punch for large North American game. Doubtful given the 375 H&H in a standard length can be bought and does all that is needed of a .375. The efficiency of the cartridge actually yields a dual bonus. If the hunter can visualize both the point of the shoulder and forwards portion of the lungs and work the angles according to the situation this will increase the ability of the bullet (any bullet) to produce a fast kill. The .300 Ruger Compact Magnum or .300 RCM was designed in 2007 and uses a case designed by Hornady and Ruger based on the .375 Ruger cartridge. The 350 grain Woodleigh round nose and protected point bullets come into their own on the heaviest of game where they are able to shed some weight and SD but continue to produce vivid wounding to a much deeper level than their 300 grain counterparts which can, if pushed too hard, suffer over-expansion. The Outfitter load features a 250-grain GMX (a lead-free choice), at a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps and will give a trajectory much like a .308 Winchester with a 180-grain bullet; with a 200-yard zero, itll strike eight inches low at 300 yards and 23 inches low at 400 yards. Otherwise, see the .375 Ruger for what it is, an affordable and extremely useful medium bore. Anyone who has used Russian made steel jacketed soft point ammunition (often found in .223 and .308) will have at least some experience of how such ammunition can perform. As I understand it, one of the goals for the 375 Ruger cartridge was to equal the performance of a 375 H&H out of a 24" barrel, but to do it with a 20" barrel. Such rifles can be a true please to own once bedded and tuned. It's OK, but, after all, the .375 H&H has been adequate since 1912, so I don't think that is what is most important about the new cartridge. I doubt it; there are just too many great rifles chambered for the H&H, too many ammunition choices, as well as too many devotees of the old, belted case. The .375 Ruger is not the .375 H&H, but it measures up well, and in all ways. Although very large, his cunning friend hiding in the vegetation behind him weighs around 900kg (1980lb). And lastly, the duo of Hornadys 300-grain DGX Bonded and DGS Solid, at a muzzle velocity of 2660 fps for 4,713 ft.-lbs. Game taken ranged from warthog and bushbuck on up through sable and waterbuck, then up again to buffalo and crocodile. Certainly, they were good enough to go hunting with, and that's exactly what we did. Those who wish to hunt light framed game at bush / woods ranges or in semi open country, where shots are not long, may wish to consider using the 200 Grain Sierra flat point bullet (BC .200) designed for the .375 Winchester. And yes, it is most certainly worth chasing velocity in the .375 Ruger but never at the expense of safety. Recoil is considerable. The newer .375 Ruger is beltless and intrinsically more accurate. It is designed to provide an increase in performance over the .375 H&H cartridge, yet to be chambered in a standard-length action rifle. The .375 RUM has a rebated rim diameter of .534" and a base diameter of .550". This bullet differs quite simply in that it does not have any exposed lead at the bullet tip, similar to the Remington CoreLokt. Unfortunately, this is something that comes more naturally with time and experience. Top 10 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) Rifles, Enfield No. The full velocity increase can be had from a slightly shorter barrel--as in 22 or 23 inches--and a short 20-inch barrel at least equals and will generally exceed .375 H&H velocity. Introduced in 1965 with the .444 Marlin cartridge, the Model 444 was the most powerful lever action of its day. At Sportsman's Warehouse, we offer bolt action rifles chambered in .375 Ruger from leading manufacturers including Mossberg, Ruger, and Savage Arms. Calling and shooting predators is one of the things that helps hunters get from the end of the fall seasons to when the turkeys start gobbling. It was designed as a dangerous game cartridge, particularly for use in Alaska and Africa. Near enough is not good enough, practice, stalk well, wait, pick your angles, and break bone. Fast kills could be expected out to ordinary hunting ranges of around 300 yards with room for shot placement error. If you do not truly love shooting these big guns and challenging yourself dont put animals through your ignorance. The .376 Steyr is based on the 9.3x64 Brenneke case and is a beltless case with a 0.495" rim diameter. The .375 Ruger was introduced in 2007 as a rimless standard length cartridge that is slightly larger in powder capacity and energy than the .375 H & H Magnum (a belted and tapered cartridge) , widely used in Africa all the way up to Elephant. Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger discontinued? Rather, I think the case design is extremely clever from a manufacturer's standpoint because you have a bigger, fatter case that will not only fit existing bolt faces (as do rebated rims) but also feed well from existing magazine boxes. The 235 grain Woodleigh Weldcore protected point is ideal for larger bodied medium game. At impact velocities of 2600fps or slower neither can be called emphatic. Bought the last 3 boxes of 375 Ruger 300 gr Dangerous game rounds at the local Wallmart at $19 a box. Both rifles had the new iron sights, and I like them very much; they are far superior to the "mostly for looks" folding leaves long supplied. Both are equipped with Ruger's scope-mounting system. Full production did occur until later in 2007. The .375 Ruger also labors under giant velocity spikes between one shot to another with Hornady ammo, sometimes in excess of 150 FPS. This bullet can be driven fast (though the 1:12 twist rate can limit accuracy above 2950fps), or utilized as a mild load using reloading book data for the 300 grain bullet weight resulting in muzzle velocities of around 2600fps. The only special feature--and it's a good one--is that these rifles have a very good and sturdy fixed-blade rear sight with a 3/32-inch front bead on a barrelband ramp. On medium weight game from a muzzle velocity of 2740fps in the 20 barreled Alaskan the 270 Interlock produces very fast kills out to around 235 yards or 2200fps, the longer barreled African at 2815fps gains a negligible 25 yards. I wasted little time getting it to the range, and in a proper left-hand rifle I can offer more detailed shooting impressions. Based purely on case capacity, a fairly straight .532-inch-diameter case with a fairly sharp shoulder should do this, and it does. With a fairly short, trim barrel and the standard-length action the M77 in .375 Ruger is fairly light and produces stout recoil off the bench--but it isn't unmanageable, and most experienced shooters should be able to handle it. Hornady and Ruger partnered to create the cartridge. The Weldcore bullet really comes into its own when the going gets tough, an emphatic killer of large and tough bodied deer and Antelope when used out to ordinary hunting ranges. Good luck with Dorian on Monday. The 235 grain Speer can be put to very good use in the Ruger. Barnes for example produce a 270 grain bullet but experience leads me to believe that this really only comes into its own on the heaviest of animals or in the most potent of .375 magnums. The first Ruger .375 rifles and Hornady ammunition were released to the shooting press in December 2006. As most of you know by now, obtaining smooth feeding can be problematic with our new short, fat magnums, but this does not seem to be a problem with this cartridge, at least not in the Ruger M77 with .30-06-length action. Need more information . Further to this, do not be quick to blame poor accuracy as being the result of a hot load. Of the heavy weight premium bullets the 300 grain Nosler is the softest. Robust, sturdy, sculptured receiver forms a rigid support for barrel, stock and sliding breech block. As always, the hand loader must let the individual rifle and its brass speak to him or her. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt." The .375 H&H is a pussycat for its power level, but when you go up from .375 H&H velocity you are going to go up fast in recoil. A main strength of these cartridges are in their ability to produce optimal performance in long actions which lack generous magazine lengths. Velocity is an additional key factor as this increases target resistance further. With an Accu-Fit stock and left hand adjustable bolt, this rifle is a perfect choice for anyone! Combine this with the difficulties of longer range follow up shots and well, the reader should see the obvious here. As a researcher, I tend to look for the poleax effect as this subject interests me as a matter of research. The Woodleigh and Swift 300 grain bullets are optimally suited to close range work on large heavy game, achieving a good balance of expansion versus penetration. Now if it does go away I have brass! But there are some animals which are just so large and tough that unless we were to use a Chey-Tac, or perhaps a .50 BMG, there is simply no way they are going to go straight down with ordinary body shots and there is no point chasing maximum velocities. Hinterland #: 78027. As Ken had promised, when I got home there was a long Ruger box awaiting me, and in it was the very first left-hand Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger. Too many times I hear of a hunter stating that his gun only groups 3 MOA but this should be fine for very large animals. With a 95-year track record, it is also a benchmark for bullet performance. It was designed to fit and function in the many "standard length" bolt-actions that work with cartridges like the 7mm Remington and .300/.338 Winchesters Magnums. This bullet is most spectacular at impact velocities above 2400fps but displays vivid performance down to 2200fps. [3][4][5], The .375 Ruger cartridge has functioned as the parent case for the 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), which is essentially a necked-down version of the .375 Ruger. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532in (13.5mm), which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. Mossberg & Sons produced bolt-action rifles of the "Patriot" series chambered in .375 Ruger with different stock options. Any .375 cartridge must first be judged against the H&H. In the Dangerous Game Series, Hornady loads their 270-grain InterLock spitzer at a muzzle velocity of 2840 fps, yielding a trajectory identical to the lighter 250-grain bullet and making it a perfect choice for bear, elk, moose, African plains game and the big cats as well. Instead, Nosler developed a series of modest length rebated rim cartridges to suit the Howa action (Nosler M48 rifle). With deep penetration and high weight retention, the DGX Bonded has earned a great reputationbonding the core to the jacket solved some jacket/core separation issuesand the DGS remains a fantastic choice for backup on buffalo, or for hunting elephant. Readers are however advised to take note of the muzzle brakes on the current .375 Ruger rifles. We checked zero on the runway--hardly a perfect range setup, but it had seemed to me that Steve Hornady's .375 Ruger shot very well, and it seemed to me that both of these did also. The 270 grain Speer BTSP is a soft bullet designed for large thin-skinned game. With regards to long range shooting the Sierra 350 grain match bullet may seem appealing for long range work but it is not designed for killing. Yukon Territory, Canada.

Unless I`m mistaken Remington did not offer a brake on their 375 RUM rifle offerings. Out of stock. It burns powder more efficiently, producing higher velocities in a shorter barrel. Anything anybody thought they needed in a .375 cartridge was done by Roy Weatherby, not once but twice (.375 and .378 Weatherby Magnums)--and again by Remington in 2000 with the .375 RUM. 2023 Outdoor Sportsman Group. .375 H&H Mag. The reason I abandoned Wayne Holt and Ken Jorgensen in the wilds of Mozambique was because I had a short turnaround before a long-awaited safari in Tanzania.

The 235 grain TSX generally does its bets work above 2600fps on game weighing up to 450kg or around 1000lb. The Dakota has rim diameter of .543" and a base diameter of .545". The premiums can be divided into those that are relatively soft in nature versus those which are truly tough. In fact, as much as it truly galls me to say this, the .375 Ruger is probably a better cartridge. The .378 Weatherby, on the other hand, has never been popular because it is too much of a good thing: too much more recoil and too fast for most .375 bullets. Unfortunately, this puts the blast near the shooter, more so from the 20 barreled rifle. Strong, simple, compact falling-block breech mechanism with artillery-style breechblock and under-lever is ideally suited for today's powerful cartridges. By the same token, be wary of high weight retention projectiles that supposedly dump vast amounts of energy yet then defy physics by maintaining their form and weight. The new Hornady 300 grain bonded DGX should (there is that doesnt actually know for sure should again) prove equally effective. Versatility is a key word when considering the .375 bore. The DGS bullet is also steel clad. The Ruger cartridge may not be ideal for very light framed game or the very best for extremely heavy game, but as a general-purpose cartridge it is extremely well balanced.

They quickly found a good bull in the middle of the herd, but other buffalo covered him up, and as the afternoon melted away he refused to come clear for a shot. This is one of the great virtues of the medium bores and why it is such a shame when hunters label them as being suitable for big game only. Pintoguy is correct, Howa no longer lists the 375 Ruger, so they are hard to find. Ruger have cut down the barrel lengths of their rifles so that they are not overly long (no longer than a regular 26 barreled magnum) or cumbersome when fitted with muzzle brakes. Personally, I don't give much of a hoot about the extra velocity. 300 yard wind value (very) roughly doubles at 400 yards. As an aside, this is a very good bullet weight with regards to the actual construction of this bullet. Tips, techniques, and equipment are applied to these classroom discussions on how to become more proficient and successful at making long-range shots while hunting with AR-platform rifles.

While the .375 H&H Magnum is longer than the .375 Ruger, the latter cartridge has a 4% greater case capacity than the Holland & Holland cartridge, 99 gr. But, it eventually rose to the top, and not just among African hunters. . As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was kept to 2.580in (65.5mm), which is only .04in (1.0mm) longer than the .270 Winchester case.

It uses a .532-inch rim diameter (the same as the .375 H&H and its subsequent offspring) which I assume would make it financially beneficial to machine the rifles bolt, and a rimless design with very little body taper. Rifles chambered for the 300 PRC must be capable of handling 3.70in (93.98mm) overall length cartridges.[9][10].
