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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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,
