.375 Ruger is a better round than the .375 H&H. Even Craig boddington agrees. The first new .375 to come along that has a legit chance to dethrone the h&h. I think it's here to stay, people set in their ways may not buy one, but all the new .375 guys should be buying it over the h&h. I'm just waiting for it to be available in nicer factory rifles, it'll happen. In a few years maybe 5, you'll be seeing alot more of the .375 Ruger.
If Ruger sent me to Africa, all expenses paid, and gave me a new rifle to shoot all my game with... I'd tell you that Jesus was on safari with me and he had two of them with a third on order. I enjoy Craig Boddington's writing, and he will tell you outright that a .375 Ruger is superior to a .375 H&H.... and its because his wallet tells him so.
I am not going to sell the farm for a gun with a slightly shorter action that gives only a measured 74 additional fps at the muzzle compared to a 375 H&H with a 300gr solid. Something as time tested and tried and true as a 375 H&H will do fine. If you want more out of a .375..... buy an Ultra Mag or a .416.
