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. This is due to the .375 H&H Magnum having a long, tapered body, while the .375 Ruger follows modern cartridge designs in that it has very little taper and a sharper shoulder. They pulled up short, and, luckily, the bull they wanted turned and gave them a clear frontal shot. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt." 4 boxes available. He shot like a machine, making difficult shots look easy and easy shots look like child's play.

This is the third iteration of this projectile design. And yes, it is most certainly worth chasing velocity in the .375 Ruger but never at the expense of safety. The Dakota, Ruger and Nosler cartridges are essentially wider versions of the basic 2.5 belted magnums (.264 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, .338 Win Mag). Since 2015, O.F. Released in 1912, the .375 H&H took a while to become the revered, all-around design we know; the Great War put a damper on international hunting adventures. From a very mild muzzle velocity of 2750fps, its soft front core ensures full energy transfer out to a range of around 200 yards or 2200fps. It is simple, effective, affordable (in both rifle and ammunition) and shootable. Both these cartridges were designed to fit standard length long actions. Wounding is severe however if used in this manner. All Rights Reserved. New 375 RUM Remington rifles sales must going south. This bullet is at its best when used on large bodied game such as bear or moose at closer ranges (above 2200fps or inside 250 yards depending on muzzle velocity).

Pintoguy is correct, Howa no longer lists the 375 Ruger, so they are hard to find. Between 2400 and 2200fps the TSX produces clean but delayed kills. On the subject of high velocity, a hot .375 will produce rather stout recoil. The compact case is extremely well suited to a very wide range of rifle actions. The BC of this bullet is very low at .270, therefore, the faster it can be driven the better in order to ensure high impact velocities. Made to work in Ruger actions, which couldn't fit full-length magnum cartridges. This projectile can tackle heavy game, but here is where we can also run into trouble. Great bullets for a Savage 99 375 Winchester, a 375 Ruger, STW, and H&H. Price is per box of 100 bullets. The neck / shoulder junction is also exposed, offering a fast killing point of aim. Their capabilities remain essentially comparable. Now, as I set about releasing my research, Hornady have finally adopted core bonding. He did. Shot the factory 300gr. There are certainly many rave reviews of this projectile to be found in gun rag write ups and online articles. By using a very basic lead core bullet with a partially flat nose, the cartridge OAL is kept short and without cramping powder space, while at the same time ammunition will generally feed smoothly from a box magazine. The Hornady Superformance ammunition drives a 270-grain (17g) SP-RP bullet at 2,840ft/s (870m/s) and the 300-grain (19g) DGS and DGX bullets at 2,660ft/s (810m/s). I certainly hope it is here to stay. Feeding is superb, not only in the left-hand rifle but in all the right-hand rifles I have seen. These bullets work well when facing game weighing 700kg (1540lb) and above. It fits in a shorter, and therefore faster-to-reload and more rigid action. 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.

Both of the Gameking bullets are designed to be used in an all-round manner (close and extended ranges). These velocities are recorded in a 24 test barrel and in sporting rifles, results have averaged out to show that the 23 African loses an unnoticeable 25fps while the 20 barreled Alaskan rifles lose on average 100fps (the typical 25fps/inch). The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. Though it wasnt the firstand it certainly isnt the lastthe .375 Holland & Holland Belted Magnum set the standard for not only the proper velocities, but the desired terminal ballistics for the .375-inch diameter. 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.

The 300 grain Nosler Partition is ideal for large Alaskan game out to ordinary hunting ranges. At 2600fps this is a very hard hitting load and fast killing out to ranges of around 90 to 100 yards, producing clean but sometimes delayed killing down to impact velocities of around 1800fps or 200 yards. While expansion may still be fully evident at 2200fps, hunters targeting heavy game would do well to consider 2400fps as a wise cut off point for wide wounding.

It has been used to take roe deer, reindeer, ibex, and more. At this time of writing there are now many buzz words used to label and describe bullets that are designed to enhance hydraulic action. 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. Ken had a .375 Ruger in the classic M77 walnut stock, still a prototype but exactly the way this version will be marketed. Velocity is an additional key factor as this increases target resistance further. Thanks, Art & Dan for the heads up!

The Woodleigh handles raking shots relatively well but is prone to lose a great deal of its sectional density if used to take Texas heart shots at close ranges. A superior stock forend design would help a great deal to aid to recoil reduction and allow many users to do away with the brake altogether. In early September Hornady's Wayne Holt and Ruger's Ken Jorgensen joined me at outfitter J.P. Kleinhans' camp in coastal Mozambique to film a segment for our Petersen's Hunting Adventures TV show. This is best employed at very close ranges in order to keep its impact velocity well above 2600fps.

And yes, the Sierra bullet can suffer very high weight loss at high impact velocities, but it kills well. Doubtful given the 375 H&H in a standard length can be bought and does all that is needed of a .375. To show viewers how to succeed at long range, J. Guthrie gears up for a challenging shot while chasing Colorado pronghorn at long range with DPMS' Panther 6.5 Creedmoor.

This feral cattle beast weighs around 600kg (1300lb). Both are go-to bullet designs for game weighing around 600kg (1300) but, like the TSX, are best used at very close ranges where energy is high. This can lead to disastrous results on large, heavy bodied animals. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. 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.

The combination of full bullet expansion plus around 30% weight loss help the 300 grain partition to produce massive internal wounding across a wide range of impact velocities. The rules here are rather simple; the more the momentum of the bullet is interrupted on impact the greater the energy transfer (hydraulic force). Such rifles can be a true please to own once bedded and tuned. The WSM's and RCM's seem to have fallen behind.
