375-Ruger
 

I am looking for some data on this new round. I have a trip to Alaska coming up. I sure would like more information on this round?
Where is the best source of information?
I have looked at the Ruger website, they have very little information.

its very comparable to the h and h but amo will be more expencive and hard to find, if lost during flight or something

RE: 375-Ruger
 

They dont even have a rifle made yet. I am waiting for one. I was contemplating a 375 H & H or a 375 Ultra Mag then found out about this. It is right inbetween the two as performance looks awesome.

RE: 375-Ruger
 

look on Hornady's website. Also think there was a write up on Gun Blast about it as well.

RE: 375-Ruger
 

They deveope a little more whap than the H&H but they are close. The action is shorter and can be built in a standard long action. I have not seen a rifle yet but they should be out soon. The Ruger will probably be the only one to start. I look fot T/C to follow soon. I think Blaser has one on the way as well.

Where in Alaska, and what are you hunting, if you don't mind me asking?

RE: 375-Ruger
 

I have handled the Ruger Hawkeye in 375 Ruger, a nice gun but at $900 for a Ruger , I'll pass. The rifle and ammo are availble here in South Texas.

The only thing I would be concerned with is the ballistics, yeah Hornady claims it will out do the classic 375 H&H but with the powder blends and loading procedures they use the average handloader is going to get the same results. That's just me but time will tell.

RE: 375-Ruger
 

The 375 Ruger has 3 t0 6 more grains of powder room than the 375 H&H. Duplicating the 375 H&H should be no problem.

all gun manufactures are doing now days is trying to reinvent the wheel

RE: 375-Ruger
 

The rifles are out ($850 and up on Gunsamerica), I have had mine several months. Although Midway has loaded ammunition, I imagine it will be quite some time before cases will be available in bulk.

At about $900, I thought the rifle was a steal. I would characterize the "new" trigger as excellent. I have put two boxes through it and think it is a great cartridge. Ruger finally found a decent recoil pad. I was shooting my .45-70 GG at the same time and can onlydescribe the recoil of the Ruger as "ALOT less" than the .45-70. I was shooting Rem 405 JSPs with 53 gr of 3031.

The prices on Hornady ammunition is very close to the H&H, so it doesn't appear they are gouging more for the 375 Ruger than any other ammunition.

I am planning on using the rifle for elk later this year with some bullet (probably the triple shock) in 270 gr. I am just waiting for RCBS to come out with dies...

Good luck,
