That info's been there for at least a couple of months. The velocities shown are certainly not for the 20" barrel! "It's like killing roaches - you have to kill 'em all, otherwise what's the use?" Charles Bronson | |||

The velocities were measured in a 24" barrel according to Hodgdons. | |||

270g @2750? That's fine, but not sure if it justifies the hype. Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt. | |||

That 375 Ruger is impressive. Same speed as the power house 375 Weatherby for 270, 300gr loads, and we know that cartridge is enough for africa  One list of loads is not enough for me to judge a cartridge. Especially when their 375 Wby loads are so weak.WOODY Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if its wrong. | |||

Do I correctly understand that the parent case for the .375 Ruger is an '06 case? | |||

you are new, so take this with a laugh.. HELL NO .. it is a unique, properitary case that has no belt and is .532 at the casehead, it has greater capacity than the 375HH, rather than 80% of it opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

The .375 Wby will beat the .375 Ruger by over 100 fps if pressures and barrel lengths and bullets are the same, and no home cooking of load data is allowed. But it does require a 0.2" longer action to do so. Good on the .375 Ruger.  The .375 Wby beats the .375 Ruger more decisively than the .375 Ruger beats the .375 H&H. No home cookin'. | |||

For a good comparison, check out the 375 Dakota, which uses the 404J case with a nominal .545" casehead, and handloads achieving 270g/2900fps (24" bbl). One of the "excellent" things about the round is Hornady's uber-modern propellants. to which we are not privy. Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt. | |||

BB.. BS on the "special powders" .. hogedon matches hornady spec loads at 60K psi.. and i can buy those powders by the 8# keg opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

?... okaaaayyyy... Seems I was reading just the other day that Hornady was using their magnum gel propellant in these loads. What do I know. It's certainly a big enough case to meet the H&H, since even the 375-338 can do that. Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt. | |||

RIP, my 375Wby comment is tongue in cheek. I was just saying that one list of loads is not going to convince me a cartridge is good or bad. I used to have a H&H and would own a Ruger because in my mind it does the same thing, and I like Ruger guns. I also would love a 375 Weatherby if I could find the right one but may end up with the 378 instead. Hell I like them all. But that is all way in the future...

went there, did that; came up with 2650 +/- top for either...still looking for the magic. At the show Chris told me there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference in their testing. Not hammering the 375R, but it just looks like they are the same for reloaders. Help me see the light. Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

no, no, no, no, NO!! Hodgdon spent days testing the 375R. They found NO appreciable difference in velocity. With all the powders they sell, you'd think they could find some way to back up Hornady on the extreme ballistic advantage touted by 375R owners. Is this part of a vast conspiracy, or is it sleight of hand? Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

Yaaaaaawn.........  If you want a real .375" banger then buy the .378 Weatherby and get it over with! The rest are just girlie guns for Bambi and Porky. | |||

I bet CZ didn't sell 8000+ 375 H&H's last year. Ruger surpassed that mark with the 375 Ruger in its first year of sales. | |||
|
| one of us |
No, but it is made for an '06 length action. If nothing else it makes it easier for other gun makers to chamber for it. | |||

| One of Us |
Forget the velocity factor, the 375 H&H velocity has done it all. It's nice that you can have those same velocities with the Ruger 375 albeit Lower CHAMBER PRESSURES. Not that I feel that's a reason to sell the 375 H&H and get a Ruger, but I just happen to have three 375 Rugers (two Rugers + Win M70 chambered for the round). One happy camper!

Got a pic of your model 70 375 Ruger by any chance? Specs? | |||
|
| One of Us |
M-H, where did you get that data? Ruger has not released such figures, if they did on the 375R it would be a first in company history. The data they file with the BATFE does not provide a breakdown past handgun, rifle, or shotgun. Just curious... Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

I also soke to Ruger directly at the SCI convention in Reno; they said it was in their top 10 best sellers last year and exceeded all sales forecasts, even the most optimistic ones!! The Ruger rep also asked that I (and anyone else that is interested) to speak directly with Hornady about a 416 Ruger- they've apparently done much testing with different calibers and they would need to see a large enough demand to want to explore a 416 Ruger with Ruger.

IMO the .375 Ruger case needs to house bullets from .257 to .423.....it's a better "mousetrap" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Here we go again, that's what killed the .284, folks just had to make it something it wasn't intended to be..It was intended to be a .284 round to be used in auto and lever actions to compete with the .270 and it did..but folks used it in the bolt guns and all manor of problems came up... Again the .375 Ruger was ment to duplicate the proven and true .375 H&H, but to do it in a 06 length action and without the belt..Why? because that is what the masses have been whining their butts off for the last 50 years..The belt bashers have it now and low and behold!!

Has anyone here shot a .375 Ruger in an Encore ??? I haven't had my .376 Steyr Encore barrel made yet and was thinking of just buying a .375 Ruger barrel instead. Just wondering how bad it might kick. The big problem seems to be the lack of brass for it, I can't find any right now !!! Elite Archery and High Country dealer. | |||
