In general the 375 Ruger seems to have an edge in performanceovermost 375 H&H production ammo, but when I look at the best available production ammo there are 375 H&H rounds that generate 5,000 lbs KE.I do not see numbers that high from any of the 375 Ruger ammo. It may well be out there and I could be mistaken I just did not come across any in brief internet search.
It seems in this post that it is assumed that the Ruger has superior performance. I just wanted to mention that the high end H&H ammo is every bit the match "if not superior" tothe Ruger
All mylooking was done from a handloader perspective, soI never really accounted for factory ammo. In sifting through the data I came to the conclusion that the ruger was comparable to the H&H in terms numerics perfromance.The true gain or allure to this cartridge is due to its effecient case and design it is able to produce similar numbers in a smaller lighter package.AsI mentioned this comes with a price in recoil which may mean that a lot of otherwise 375 user might be turned off by thebelt they receive from the lighter 375 versions. However at present only brass i can find is frontier (hornady). Limiting for a handloader as well. I can walk into any shop and pick up H&H brass without spending a lot either.
Forthe factory ammo shooter the H&H has a markable edge being its established and loaded by everyone choices are vast. I am not 100% sure that anyone is yet loading the 375ruger other then Hornady of course (seeing its a ruger/hornady combined effort)??
I certainly wouldn't dump a H&H for a Ruger but starting from scratch especially for use in NA ithas appeal.
