I bought a Howa in 375 Ruger, cos they are Sooo cheap to buy, I would have had a 373H&H in a heartbeat, but the savings will buy lots of brass and I'd reload anyway

Energy at the muzzle 5700-6100ft/lbs....is that accurate!?
$70/box for the H&H, $140 for the Weatherby...I hadn't thought of the .378-but that's a hell of a cannon!

Check out the 375 weatherby. Its sort of an improved H&H. Give you the option of shooting lower power loads with H&H brass, or stout loads with wby ammo. I might consider having my model 798 rechambered for it one day.

While it's sometimes nice to be on the cutting edge, I'm generally more conservative when it comes to firearms and would select the H&H over the Ruger chambering any day of the week.
On the surface the .375 Ruger looks like the cat's meow. It wasn't until I tried to find ammunition for it that I realized that the .375 H&H was the better option for me at this point in time. Maybe in twenty years, if the round catches on, I'll opt for it. Heck, as it is I like the 9.3 x 62, and that can be hard to find ammo for at times, but not near as hard as the .375 Ruger.
.375 H&H is available worldwide. That says a lot right there.

I just got back to the USA from Zimbabwe this weekend. The only rifle I took was a Ruger Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. It will never be as popular as the H&H due to a 100 year head start, but it is not an uncommon round in Africa (I guess mostly due to hunters from the US). I can't tell any difference on game, but I like carrying the little Ruger. The .375 Ruger works very well and I think it is here to stay.
