Beyond these ranges shot placement becomes somewhat more critical on lean animals which pose little resistance to help initiate expansion. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles. The goal was to create a shorter cartridge than the big .338 magnums that would fit in a more compact rifle with nearly the same performance. The advent and acceptance of .404" beltless magnums such as the .375 RUM inspired Ruger to develop a potent magnum without having to alter their inexpensive cast action design. It is vital that the hunter understand how to work his angles when using these bullet designs and that his rifle is accurate. It is potentially unwise to have a brake fitted to a short guide rifle to be used around clients. All RifleShooter subscribers now have digital access to their magazine content. Wayne had one in the Jim Hogue synthetic, the only difference from the version that will hit the market being that his still wore a 23-inch barrel rather than the 20-inch tube that will appear on the production model. He did. If I was forced to chooseand thank Heaven that I am notjust one bore diameter to cover the entire range of the worlds big game, it would have to be the .375-inch bore diameter. Features an engraved Ruger logo and patented latch that is flush with the trigger guard to avoid accidental dumping of cartridges. Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger discontinued? This was a walnut-stocked rifle, 23-inch barrel, good iron sights. The case measures .532 inches at the base and .515 inches at the shouldergiving a larger body diameter than the H&H designand is equipped with a 30-degree shoulder for positive headspacing. 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'm leaving in just a few days, and that left-hand .375 Ruger is already in my gun case, with both solids and softs in my bulging duffel bag. Perhaps the most spectacular example was, at least to my eye, Ken Jorgensen's buffalo. .375 Ruger Loads At this time, Hornady and DoubleTap are the only two manufacturers that produce factory loaded .375 Ruger ammunition. It remained cloaked in secrecy for some time, but so what? The Ruger cartridge may not be ideal for very light framed game or the very best for extremely heavy game, but as a general-purpose cartridge it is extremely well balanced. Match-Grade Rifle Primers: Are They Better and Worth the Extra Expense? Apart from this small change, the RP Interlock performs the same as the traditional bullet. Loaded to velocities anywhere between 2950 and 3100fps (and higher in some rifles), this was a spectacular medium game bullet.

Good luck with Dorian on Monday. Doubtful given the 375 H&H in a standard length can be bought and does all that is needed of a .375. Steve Hornady, hunting with PH Paul Smith of Chifuti Safaris, took the first buffalo to fall to the .375 Ruger. Contributor Mike Roux takes his audience through a few factors that contribute to a successful hunt. How the .375 Ruger is capable of taking the largest game: Slightly greater capacity than the .375 H&H Magnum. *Hours vary by season & subject to change, Get Special Offers Delivered Right to Your Inbox. Depending on the year, conditions can be very dry as well. It happens to be significant for me personally because its only left-hand action is also .30-06 length. Listed as discontinued. A Vanguard in 375 H&H is listed on GB now for $1100: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/631076307 Last edited by a moderator: Mar 20, 2017 The 300 grain DGX was, up until October 2017, a basic cup and core bullet but utilized a steel jacket with copper guiding. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how very useful this (and other .375 kin including the H&H) can be in this manner. These bullets do their very best work at impact velocities above 2600fps. Since 1912 the .375 H&H has provided one of the finest one-rifle safari batteries available, and in a shorter, lighter, handier rifle with a .30-06-length action the .375 Ruger will do the same. This bullet is most spectacular at impact velocities above 2400fps but displays vivid performance down to 2200fps. The .375 Ruger uses a unique cartridge case designed by Hornady and Ruger. Ken and J.P. had already put on the brakes and put up the shooting sticks, so when the bull faced them Ken gave him a perfect frontal shot with a 270-grain Interlock. I must say that Steve did some very good work with this rifle and cartridge. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in short-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was shortened to 2.10in (53mm), which is similar to the .308 Winchester case. That said, hand loaders must be careful not to make general assumptions based on any published data as there is a great deal of variation in bullet shape and jacket thickness in the medium bores, especially with regards to premium bullets. The .375 H&H, left, with the new .375 Ruger. Instead, the DGS seeks to find a compromise between terminal performance and smooth feeding from the Ruger action. Although no longer listed, a quick mention must go to the now discontinued 225 grain Hornady Interlock. | Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. On the subject of high velocity, a hot .375 will produce rather stout recoil. On Wednesday, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) sent a notice of intent to sue to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for alleged violations of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), due to the hunting of gray wolves in Wyomings Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Tips, techniques, and equipment are applied to these classroom discussions on how to become more proficient and successful at making long-range shots while hunting with AR-platform rifles. Copyright 2023Sportsman's Warehouse. However, as suggested elsewhere within this knowledge base, this bullet can also prove to be neither fish nor fowl, being too soft for close range work on large game (and downright dangerous for hunting clawed game) while being too stout for extended range work. Similar to the design ideas for the WSM cartridge family, but somewhat narrower which will frequently allow one more cartridge in the rifle magazine than the WSM equivalent. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors. Thanks, Art & Dan for the heads up! It was designed to fit and function in the many "standard length" bolt-actions that work with cartridges like the 7mm Remington and .300/,338 Winchesters Magnums. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. "If you could only have one rifle worldwide, the .375 Ruger would be my choice.". Feeding is superb, not only in the left-hand rifle but in all the right-hand rifles I have seen. - 24hourcampfire Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Hop To Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 BP-B2 IC B2 IC B3 Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 CTV Who's Online Now 776 members ( 1936M71, 10gaugemag, 222ND, 12344mag, 10ring1, 91 invisible), 1,932 guests, and 1,289 robots. As most of you know by now, obtaining smooth feeding can be problematic with our new short, fat magnums, but this does not seem to be a problem with this cartridge, at least not in the Ruger M77 with .30-06-length action. Left-hand models--good news for me, of course--will be available by mid-2007. Loaded to 3000fps the 250 grain Sierra (BC .371) breaks its 1800fps limit at around 520 yards. It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." The .375 Ruger's slightly greater case capacity, and the "short fat" cartridge efficiency lead to increases in the neighborhood of 150 fps over the H&H cartridge. Therefore to say that the Sierra can expand at 1600fps only relays a part of the picture, especially when its expansion is both limited and very much reliant on some degree of resistance (shoulder muscles and bone) in order to be at least partially effective. Bottles & 12-oz. Near enough is not good enough, practice, stalk well, wait, pick your angles, and break bone. The author and professional hunter J.P. Kleinhans with a good waterbuck, dropped in its tracks with a frontal shot with a 270-grain Hornady InterLock. The Double Tap achieves 2,825ft/s (861m/s) and 4,700ftlb (6,400J) with a 270-grain Barnes TSX from a 23-inch barrel Ruger 77 African. Like the .376 Steyr that originates from the 9.364mm Brenneke and the .375 Dakota proprietary cartridge that originates from the .404 Jeffery, the .375 Ruger was designed to compete with the .375 H&H Magnum, yet have the advantage of having a rimless, beltless case and can function through a standard-length bolt-action rifle due to a shorter overall length. Since it is a rimless, unbelted case that doesn't "step down" in front of the belt, it is thus a fatter case than the .375. Without due protection the Ruger brake can cause immediate hearing damage and a temporary loss of sight should gases blow back into ones eyes from the short barrel. The Partition will shed weight, but in doing so, it creates a very wide internal wound. Having said this, small differences in bore tolerances within individual rifles can lead to a wider range of velocities. The 300 grain Nosler Partition is ideal for large Alaskan game out to ordinary hunting ranges. There have been many cartridges designed to compete or replace the .375 H&H, including the .375 Weatherby Magnum and its larger brother the .378 Weatherby Magnum, the .375 Dakota, the .376 Steyr and the .375 Remington Ultra Magnum; while all of them have a following, none have approached the flowing of the H&H design. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was kept to 2.580in (65.5mm), which is only .04in (1.0mm) longer than the .270 Winchester case. Anyone who has used Russian made steel jacketed soft point ammunition (often found in .223 and .308) will have at least some experience of how such ammunition can perform. As for the buffalo, it was an epic adventure. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532in (13.5mm), which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. Strong, simple, compact falling-block breech mechanism with artillery-style breechblock and under-lever is ideally suited for today's powerful cartridges. With an Accu-Fit stock and left hand adjustable bolt, this rifle is a perfect choice for anyone! On the other hand, pretty much all of the 250 grain .375 bullets mentioned with this text, both premium and non-premium, will tackle a 600kg Eland bull due to the nature of its weight distribution. However, it is good to see the likes of Woodleigh working towards optimal hydraulic force potential through the creation of their concaved solid bullets. Initially, the two Ruger M77 rifles designed for the .375 Ruger were the Hawkeye African and Hawkeye Alaskan. The company's new Hawkeye--essentially a Model 77 with a more slender profile and better handling qualities--became the platform for a Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. The trouble is that the larger the animal (or further the range) the more we may find ourselves simply under gunned when taking shoulder shots with a .375 caliber rifle. Looking at the case volume, in spite of being .270 inches shorter than the .375 H&H Magnum, the .375 Ruger actually has a greater volume; about 4 percent, depending on case brand. The recommended rate of twist is one revolution in 12in (304.8mm). It's not the worst, but not near the best either. It is both forgiving and can be more humane than the small bores in bush hunting situations as poor shots taken with the .375 generally slow game down fast, allowing quick follow up shots. The 235 grain Speer can be put to very good use in the Ruger. From a muzzle velocity of 3000fps the TSX breaks 2600fps at around 115 yards, 2400fps at 180 yards and 2200fps at around 240 yards. Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented, and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Unfortunately, this puts the blast near the shooter, more so from the 20 barreled rifle. 3 MOA over the bench and with a sled equates to around 6 MOA in the field if the hunter can keep his cool and more likely 9 MOA in real word conditions. Below 2200fps killing can be very slow. This should (note the unqualified should of hoping and guessing) allow for more uniform mushrooming and quite possibly an outstanding bullet. One could go so far as to call it the medium bore work horse equivalent of the ever reliable .308 Winchester. Between 2200 and 2000fps (280 yards), killing is clean but can be somewhat delayed. This projectile is also too long to be housed in the Ruger M77. With the 375R necked down to 9.3, the 9.3x62 and the 9.3 Brenneke would pale in a comparison of performance. Absent a spine shot, this truly is as good as it gets and is a very rare thing to observe. The .375 Ruger is a joint project between Hornady and Ruger, and it is the first big-game rifle cartridge to bear the Ruger name. The WSM's and RCM's seem to have fallen behind. Contributing Editor for RifleShooter Magazine, Brad Fitzpatrick gives us a review of this modernized version of an iconic favorite. Much like a shortened version of the .375 RUM case design and similar to the .375 Dakota depending upon how one looks at it, Ruger, created a very potent .375 cartridge. If this projectile is to be used for killing the meplat must be modified. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt." 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. Otherwise, see the .375 Ruger for what it is, an affordable and extremely useful medium bore. Discuss this article or ask a question on the forum here This change was made to prevent deformation of bullets under recoil. These bullets work well when facing game weighing 700kg (1540lb) and above. A new wrinkle on the Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger is this sturdy, visible fixed-blade rear sight, a vast improvement over the folding-leaf sight long supplied on the M77 Mk II. Ho hum, yawn. It was designed by brothers James Tow and Keith Tow of Halsey, Oregon, to provide comparable performance to traditional African stopping rifles from the context of the Magnum Research BFR revolvers. My girlfriend, Donna (who is also left-handed), tried it and wasn't too sure about it. The engineers at Hornady and Ruger teamed up in 2007 to produce a cartridge case with no parent; the .375 Ruger is a unique design. For those who wish to build or re-build a .375 Ruger: a basic 24" or 26 barrel rifle of sufficient heft mated to a straight line stock with a generously wide forend is the key to easy shooting. Overview. 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. This is a very economical bullet for hunting heavy game. It has been used to take roe deer, reindeer, ibex, and more. I certainly hope it is here to stay. 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. The 235 grain Woodleigh Weldcore protected point is ideal for larger bodied medium game. Although bullet construction is always the most important consideration for fast and clean killing. Although it has since spawned the .416 Ruger and the shortened Ruger Compact Magnums (RCMs), it started as an original case design that used the .532-inch rim but without a belt, the case is fatter with little body taper and a 60-degree shoulder. The Barnes bullets do not suffer over-expansion. firemedic: While the 35 Whelen is adequate my Ruger Alaskan 416 Ruger is MORE "more than enough". Hornady 's new Superformance loads produce a bit more velocity, and the rifle refinements made by Hill Country Rifle make it more accurate and user-friendly. I do not know his reload recipe other than he used Winchester powder. While not earth shattering on its own, the wide and compact case is more efficient than the Holland & Holland which enables the Ruger to obtain similar results from a short 20 barrel while a 23 barreled Ruger boasts higher velocities than a 25 barreled H&H. The case ends at 21?2 inches--.30 inch shorter than the .375 H&H--but since it's a bit fatter and has no taper before the shoulder, it slightly exceeds the .375 H&H in powder capacity. The .375 Ruger is a splendid cartridge for medium game in bush / woods hunting situations, it is an exceptional performer on large bodied game and a modest performer on heavy game. Barrel Break-In: What It Is. Doubtful given the 375 H&H in a standard length can be bought and does all that is needed of a .375. Having said this, the DGS is in no way the same as a bullet which has been specifically designed for maximum hydraulic trauma. Barnes for example produce a 270 grain bullet but experience leads me to believe that this really only comes into its own on the heaviest of animals or in the most potent of .375 magnums. I haven't shot the 260/270gr. But in the case of Solids, the bullet maker is focused on deep, straight line penetration on very heavy game. As far as I know, these are the only production lever rifles offered in .375 Winchester and the .375 caliber versions are long discontinued, although Winchester still offers .375 factory . Looking for previous installments of our "Behind the Bullet" series? This particular rifle, at least so far, is actually the least accurate of the four .375 Rugers he has seen. For almost anyone, however, the .375 Ruger kicks enough to take some getting used to, and I don't recommend shooting it off the bench any more than is absolutely necessary. In his hands the .375 Ruger performed at least as well as any .375 H&H I've ever seen. [6][7] In 2019 it got C.I.P.-standardized as the 300 PRC. Those who hunt in Alaska would be hard pushed to find a better cartridge than this. It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game.
