What Cartrigde is this?
I just picked up a custom ruger#1.Got it for a steal.The only problem is I dont know what its chambered for.The prevoius owner is deceased.I got 20 rounds of once fired brass with the rifle.They're formed from 375H&H brass.the bullet is 375,Thinking its either a 375A.I or Weatherby.Help save me a trip to the smith
case length is 2.825
measurment to bottom of shoulder 2.422
measurment to top of shoulder 2.500
Hope this pic helps.Thanks

Hard to see clearly from this distance Wink but isn't that the correct brass length for both the .375 H&H and the .375 WBY? From the look of the shoulder rounding, I would suspect the plain Vanilla .375 Weatherby...

Barnes #6 manual has the 375 JRS in it, unfortunately I don't own one.

Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!
