what do you guys think of signing up and splitting the cost of wildcatting the 375 ruger?

you could post yer caliber flavor and we can split the cost of reamer and dies ect.

if there are say 10 30's 15 338's 20 416's ect.

we could put the power of a.r. to work in our favor.

we could get fred zeglin of z-hat to make some primo dies ect.

lets test the watters.

please post your thoughts on how to do this as well.

i would be happy to chip in on the 411-375

Boomstick,
this is good of you to ry to organize a group buy and might save a lot of money for the group.....if I was a betting man and I was Steve Hornady, I'd have standard dies available for the .375 Ruger in 30 cal, 338 cal, 416cal and maybe even 458 cal.

Now that I've discovered how easy it is to stretch the M-70 classic to .375 H&H length, I've lost interest in the .375 Ruger.

I say this as a nudge for reloading die makers to have this wildcat series on the shelf as I'm with you here.....this will be wildcatted as much as any cartridge ever!

well i believe hornady ruger wont make the 7mm, 8mm, 35, 9,3 the 411 the 458 (body needs blowing out and minimal shoulder) and the 30 is in doubt imho cuzz of being overbore on lighter bullets. the common ones might get built but hey....who wants to wait several years when we know that the specs will be!

oops! forgot rips 423...

from my gathering i think we have about 10 people so far who want these...

Serious players so far, let's try to keep at least .005" difference in calibers:

.264 Nemi (What is Nemi?) (mr. rigby)
.308 American (boom stick)
.318 Caviar (.330cal) (Harris)
.366 torque (torque ent.)
.375 Ruger
.390 Hellfire (M70Nut)(custom barrel and bullets)
.395 Ripper (RIP)(custom barrel and bullets)
.411 Pondoro (boom stick)
.416 Finn (RIP)
.404 Aagaard (.423cal) (RIP)
.425 Westley Ruger (.435cal) (RIP)
.458 Roger Kick "Butt" (Roger) (We shall see if maybe Roger wants to reconsider. After all I changed the ".395 John" to ".395 Ripper," one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.)

plus jeffeossos 338

hey rip...great minds think alike!

i was thinking we needed a cal between the 375 and 416 and came up with the 395 as well

that opens a new chapter in wildcatting.

395-06 please when you get the bullets made...

mike at north fork will make custom bullets with enough of an order

i had a few others in my head...they will come to me soon

boomie,
i prefer my names for the 7 and .308 versions..
wtfna-1

you can bet ruger has everything DOWN planned and drawn...

jeffe

Could 8 x 57 Mauser barrels be rechambered with the .318 reamer? If marginal why not a .323 instead (this is one I'd be interested in).

GENERALLY the .318 is on ifie actions, while the .323 is on stronger ones... there are exceptions.

jeffe

I,ve got the 435 GUMBOOT...... unless it will hold enough powder then it will be the 435 RED MISTER.

I would chip in for the .411 also.

Shoot ... In studying the list I see RIP has the 435..... ......... How sad.... I wish the case had a belt..... sure make things easier...... gumboot out.

Iv got the 264 PRDATOR

Am thawing them out so I can cut them up and go kill some more....gb out
