what i am suprised about is the max length with the + or - is 2.6" (2.580 with + or - 20 thou) in length not the 2.5" that is losely thrown around. so it is closer to the 300 win length than the 30-06.

the shoulder being .515" does leave room for .0175 shoulder ber side if opened to 458.

They misspelled Rooger again. Darn!

Thanks RIP. Very cool to have the final specs. I am curious about the case length too....thought it would be 2.5 or even the nominal 2.494. I guess its 270 Win/280 Win length, not 30/06. Either way, picky details and no biggy....same action. Better neck length if anything actually.

Cheers,
Canuck

hhmmmmmm, make a nice 30cal! (sorry, I couldn't resist jeffe)

also the date 12-21-06...did they not have all the specs down till then?

12-21-05, boomie.

IIRC, I was measuring the 0nce-fired cases at 2.581".

They made them a full length 2.580".

Trim-to is 2.570".

Let-em grow to 2.580".

Good night. ZZZZZ...

It would make a nicer .423".

well regardless we can make reamers and dies now for whatever since we have the specs...

(With no apologies or like meanings to Imus)
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its to the reamer shop I go!
Max

good one p242...

when was calling women ho's a capital offense?

o.k. everyone call every woman you see today a ho in solidarity with imus...ouch! the wife didnt lke that

soooooo are people here going to divide the cost of a reamer? i have heard several people wanting the 423...no need in the 416 since ruger will be putting that one out themselves.

pick yer poison...

Has anyone tried cramming a few cases (or loaded rounds) into the various usual donor actions (VZ24, Ruger, Winchester) to see how well they're going to fit?

Funny, ain't it?
Theese are the first official specs we have seen of this cartridge. No reamers are available at order anywhere.
And still some people makes a point out of, that no highend gunsmith have made one yet.

After 5 years, I would say they had a point...

Since there actually is an engineer at Hornady with the initials MTM, I suspect it lends credibility to the authenticity of this drawing.

He also developed (or was key in the developement) of the 450 Marlin.

Hey boom stick:
Please delete the images. See PM from me. Thanks.

Are the cartridge drawings inaccurate or just not to be public yet?

No comment.

Just wanted to know if I should delete the copy on my hard drive or not.

We will just have to wait and see if that was troll-made, photoshopped disinformation snagged off the internet, or the real deal?

I guess it is not official until Hornady says it is official, with a press release ... soon.

No FURTHER comments, to you Dan, on this subject, until you have been converted to a proponent of Hornady's .375 Ruger.

This might require you to order a Ruger Hawkeye African before I'll believe you. I know where you can get one at an excellent price for such quality.

Geez, it is my bedtime again ... ZZZZZZZZZZ

The specs are posted at 24 hour campfire as well.

If it is not official.......how can Manson have reamers??
Yes, one can make a chamber-cast, but hey, how professional is that?

Not any longer (at least in the thread that was started by me).

I am afraid that there are other cult religions with more appeal than .375 Rooger.

What about people who have commissioned reamers in .423 based on those drawings?

i feel confident those were the reeeel deeeeel...frank, did you order a reamer and not tell us?

As it looks now, nope. My gunsmith may be out of action for a long time, he's caught Valley Fever (fungal lung infection native to the San Joaquin Valley) and may have to retire.

potentialy / probably yes

A thought--Since the shooting nuts gone
crazy over Ruger, and seeing as how so many
posts on 375 to 423 cals, how about
a forum covering 35 to 444(Include 500SW). Then call 458 up huge bore or
biggest bore forum. That way we don't have to chase stuff each of us is interested in
all over.Ed

The meerkat saw his shadow on April 11, 2007.
That means six more weeks of alternating cold and hot air on this subject.

I would say they moved fast. They are very speedy.

Actually I took the drawing and the group picture of all the Ruger big bore cats and sent them to my gunsmith and asked him to buy one for me. Two days later he emailed me and said that he was out sick with valley fever and couldn't do it, so everything's fine. No obligation.

The ony problem is, no 40+ big bore and I still have that 7mm Mag sitting there.

Frank,
I believe that Hornady is requesting all known reamer makers in the world to not use the bootlegged spec drawing to make reamers until it is made official by SAAMI approval/acceptance, which should be coming along in June.

I would suggest ordering your reamer sometime this summer.

Any .375 Ruger reamer or wildcat reamer based on .375 Ruger made before Hornady officially releases the official specs will be highly suspect. Suspect of what, it is difficult to say.
