A Vanguard in 375 H&H is listed on GB now for $1100: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/631076307 Last edited by a moderator: Mar 20, 2017 The stainless steel and plastic stock is very weather resistant If just for bear protection I remove the scope and screw on a NECG receiver sight directly to the scope bases machined into the Ruger receiver. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532in (13.5mm), which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. Learn how and when to remove this template message, "American Rifleman | Editors' PicksNew for 2015: Mossberg Patriot", "Mossberg Patriot | O.F. Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger discontinued? Average working velocities from the 23 African include 3050fps to 3100fps with 225 grain bullets, 3000fps to 3050fps with 235 grain bullets, 2900fps with 250 grain bullets, 2850fps using 260 grain bullets, 2800fps for the 270 grainers, 2700fps with 300 grain bullets and 2450fps with 350 gain longsters. The 260 grain Nosler Accubond was designed for use on large bodied game. Mossberg & Sons", SAAMI Drawing 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), "It's Official SAAMI Approves Hornady 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC", "C.I.P. The .375 Ruger was designed with the latest generation of powders in mind. Rather, I think the case design is extremely clever from a manufacturer's standpoint because you have a bigger, fatter case that will not only fit existing bolt faces (as do rebated rims) but also feed well from existing magazine boxes. The maximum overall length of the cartridge is 3.340in (84.8mm), which is similar to the maximum overall length to standard-length cartridges such as the .338 Winchester Magnum or the .30-06 Springfield. The 250 grain Swift A-Frame is, in the most basic sense, a bonded version of the Partition bullet. I must be a retro sort of guy; I was extremely excited about the first American rifle and load for the .450/.400-3 inch (.400 Jeffery) that I carried, and I wasn't in the least jealous that Steve carried the first M77 Ruger in .375 Ruger. The Sierra can be pushed out to a maximum impact velocity of 1600fps or 270 yards however shot placement is critical. This bull took the bullet, tried to turn, fell over and didn't get back up. And lastly, the duo of Hornadys 300-grain DGX Bonded and DGS Solid, at a muzzle velocity of 2660 fps for 4,713 ft.-lbs. The new cartridge uses the same .532-inch rim diameter, but the belt is fatter and the body taper has slightly more case capacity even though, at 2 1/2 inches, it'. It remained cloaked in secrecy for some time, but so what? Following the introduction of the .375 Ruger, many shooters expected a whole family of Ruger magnum cartridges but these never eventuated, perhaps due to the fact that the Ruger magazine was still not all that well suited to the now very long Hornady bullets. The bullet weights for the most common cartridges will range from 200 grains all the way up to 350 grains (380 grains in a few instances with boutique bullets) and at what weve come to accept as standard velocities, will both shoot flat with spitzer bullets and hit hard with the heavyweights. Readers are however advised to take note of the muzzle brakes on the current .375 Ruger rifles. I had been in Africa for some time before they arrived, and unfortunately, a left-hand version of the .375 Ruger couldn't be cobbled together before I departed.

Originally Posted by EdM. Perhaps the most spectacular example was, at least to my eye, Ken Jorgensen's buffalo. No matter--Wayne and Ken came in well heeled. It burns powder more efficiently, producing higher velocities in a shorter barrel. In early September Hornady's Wayne Holt and Ruger's Ken Jorgensen joined me at outfitter J.P. Kleinhans' camp in coastal Mozambique to film a segment for our Petersen's Hunting Adventures TV show. Such was my attitude in early June 2006 when Steve Hornady and I went to Zimbabwe. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. The .375 Ruger is a joint project between Hornady and Ruger, and it is the first big-game rifle cartridge to bear the Ruger name. This is no surprise; accuracy in any factory rifle is going to vary, and I saw the normal variance from good enough to very, very good. And yes, the Sierra bullet can suffer very high weight loss at high impact velocities, but it kills well. New CZ, Ruger Hawkeye, Remington, Savage, and some other moderate cost dangerous game rifles can be purchased for less than $1,000. In the shorter Alaskan rifle, figures average 50 to 75fps below these and in custom 24 barreled rifles, readers should add 25fps. J. Scott Rupp takes a first look at the Springfield M1A Loaded rifle chambered in the popular 6.5 Creedmoor. Alternatively, look to the .375 RUM, the .378 Weatherby or the even larger .375 Chey Tac. This change was made to prevent deformation of bullets under recoil. Need more information . Both of the Gameking bullets are designed to be used in an all-round manner (close and extended ranges). Made to work in Ruger actions, which couldn't fit full-length magnum cartridges. of water (6.42cm3) compared to the H&H's 95. As always, but especially when using solid bullets, shot placement is the key. They quickly found a good bull in the middle of the herd, but other buffalo covered him up, and as the afternoon melted away he refused to come clear for a shot. I left Ken and Wayne in Mozambique to do a bit more hunting and headed home. of energy at the muzzle, making it adequate to handle all of the worlds game species. The Weldcore bullet really comes into its own when the going gets tough, an emphatic killer of large and tough bodied deer and Antelope when used out to ordinary hunting ranges. Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. While expansion may still be fully evident at 2200fps, hunters targeting heavy game would do well to consider 2400fps as a wise cut off point for wide wounding. The goal of the engineers was not to exceed .375 H&H performance but simply to equal it in a cartridge that would fit in a standard-length (.30-06-length) action and fit existing belted magnum bolt faces. Having said this, the DGS is in no way the same as a bullet which has been specifically designed for maximum hydraulic trauma. In 24-inch test barrels, the .375 Ruger sent 270-grain bullets at 2,840 fps and 300s at 2,660, trumping the .375 H&H by more than 100 fps. He did. It is also worth noting that Hornadys Superformance loads for the .375 H&H almost duplicate the .375 Ruger loadings, though without the same level of efficiency. This combined with very select shot placement, keeping shots well forwards on the shoulder, can allow us to drop very large animals in their tracks. The one cartridge which has, in my opinion, come the closest is the .375 Ruger. By utilizing a round nosed form this bullet penetrated in a relatively straight line after expansion though when used on heavy bone, the hard steel jacket could prevent the bullet from obtaining a fully even mushroom form. The .375 RUM has a rebated rim diameter of .534" and a base diameter of .550". Due to the fact that the .375 Ruger produces somewhat similar performance to the .375 H&H, a full discourse on projectiles can be found within that text. The reason I abandoned Wayne Holt and Ken Jorgensen in the wilds of Mozambique was because I had a short turnaround before a long-awaited safari in Tanzania. Well, no hurry; this new wonder boy will come along in due time, and I'll have to grit my teeth and write about it. When hunting tough game weighing between 450 and 600kg (roughly 1000-1300lb) using a medium weight .375 bullet it really is hard to go past a homogenous copper bullet design utilized at close ranges as a means to increase hydraulic force. The faster it can be driven the better its performance as a lighter medium game bullet, utilizing impact velocity to increase target resistance and therefore help overcome its bonding. Ruger's straight stock design helps considerably, but you must also take into account the fact that, with a shorter barrel and a lighter (smaller equals lighter) action, most .375 Ruger rifles will be lighter than most .375 H&H rifles. The velocity bonus is significant because it provides considerably more energy, slightly flattens trajectory and, from a pure marketing standpoint, places the .375 Ruger very close to the .375 Weatherby Magnum and .375 Remington Ultra Magnum in performance. Last year Ruger introduced two rifles for its new .375 Ruger cartridge. Wrap-around checkering provides a sure grip in any weather. Even with protection, by standers can receive a hefty blast. The Ruger cartridge may not be ideal for very light framed game or the very best for extremely heavy game, but as a general-purpose cartridge it is extremely well balanced. The .375 Ruger has passed the test of time for me in all aspects and I do believe it's popularity will increase as other manufactures add models chambered for it. Thread Pattern: 5/8in-18. Too, none of the barrels have been shot enough to have been properly broken in, so at this stage good enough is definitely good enough. I sleep better with it next to me in my tent in bear country. If looking to acquire an automated powder-charge dispensing unit to speed up precision reloading, don't judge the RCBS ChargeMaster Lite powder scale and dispenser by its name; the Little Green machine packs a heavy-weight punch with speed and accuracy. Is it significant that it fits in a .30-06-length action? firemedic: While the 35 Whelen is adequate my Ruger Alaskan 416 Ruger is MORE "more than enough". By the same token wind drift is a major concern and to this end, the 2600fps load really is best used at close ranges. The cartridge is based on the .375 Ruger case, which was necked up to accept a .416in (10.6mm) bullet. | The recommended rate of twist is one revolution in 12in (304.8mm). Throughout most of Africa it is the accepted minimum for thick-skinned dangerous game, and it is also a world standard in terms of versatility. I have run .375 Ruger ammo through such actions and so far it has fed great every time. The Ruger should therefore be considered very mild in this regard. As most of you know by now, obtaining smooth feeding can be problematic with our new short, fat magnums, but this does not seem to be a problem with this cartridge, at least not in the Ruger M77 with .30-06-length action. Nosler, as an example, show loads yielding 2880fps with their 260 grain bullets but these velocities were taken in a 26 barrel. The Alaskan rifle featured a Hogue plastic stock and 20 barrel, again with open sights. 300 yard wind value (very) roughly doubles at 400 yards. The .375 Ruger is extremely well suited to large bodied game. The neck / shoulder junction is also exposed, offering a fast killing point of aim. Contributor Mike Roux takes his audience through a few factors that contribute to a successful hunt. Both feature near double thickness jackets compared to the smaller bore Sierra bullets and both feature tougher cores. They pulled up short, and, luckily, the bull they wanted turned and gave them a clear frontal shot. Those who want the highest possible velocities may wish to adopt a custom rifle start with a generous barrel length (my own preference is 26 to keep the blast and noise forwards while taming recoil). Combine this with the difficulties of longer range follow up shots and well, the reader should see the obvious here. Can Coolers | An Official Journal Of The NRA, Find More Great NRA Publications Perfect For Every Interest, Discover Everything That The NRA Has To Offer. Those who wish to body shoot heavy game with this bullet must understand that wounding will be limited. Although very large, his cunning friend hiding in the vegetation behind him weighs around 900kg (1980lb). This bullet can be driven fast (though the 1:12 twist rate can limit accuracy above 2950fps), or utilized as a mild load using reloading book data for the 300 grain bullet weight resulting in muzzle velocities of around 2600fps. With a 95-year track record, it is also a benchmark for bullet performance. Good luck with Dorian on Monday. Handloading for the .375 Ruger is a straightforward affair; look to a large rifle magnum primer and powders like Reloder 15, 16 and 17, H380, VARGET and IMR4064, IMR4166, IMR4350 and IMR4451, depending on the bullet your loading. This feral cattle beast weighs around 600kg (1300lb). For times when the brake is not preferred, it may be replaced with the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight. Readers are advised to experiment utilizing this as a part of a dual load (premium bullet for close ranges / Speer BTSP out long) when tackling large body weights. Joined: Feb 2001. RifleShooter Magazine editor Scott Rupp breaks down all the features of the Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. But if your heart is set on getting a 375 Ruger, as Charlie mentioned, go get a Ruger. The BC of this bullet is very low at .270, therefore, the faster it can be driven the better in order to ensure high impact velocities. On the subject of high velocity, a hot .375 will produce rather stout recoil. The 235 grain TSX generally does its bets work above 2600fps on game weighing up to 450kg or around 1000lb. That said, hand loaders must be careful not to make general assumptions based on any published data as there is a great deal of variation in bullet shape and jacket thickness in the medium bores, especially with regards to premium bullets. Test barrel lengths must also be taken into consideration when observing published data. Used in this manner the GMX is able to produce very high physical and nervous trauma on game weighing up to and exceeding 600kg (1300lb). The .375 Ruger gives the company the opportunity, for the first time, to house this level of power, performance and versatility in the standard Ruger M77 Mk II. I can handle it. The Barnes bullets do not suffer over-expansion. Versatility is a key word when considering the .375 bore. This should (note the unqualified should of hoping and guessing) allow for more uniform mushrooming and quite possibly an outstanding bullet. To show viewers how to succeed at long range, J. Guthrie gears up for a challenging shot while chasing Colorado pronghorn at long range with DPMS' Panther 6.5 Creedmoor. 4 boxes available. The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. As with most medium bores the .375 Ruger produces best results across all bullet weights with powders in the IMR / H 4350 range, though the faster Varget burn rate can work very well with light weight bullets. His first trophy was a 40 inch buffalo. All Rights Reserved. My one concern with this bullet is the potential for over expansion and limited penetration when taking quartering on shots on potentially dangerous animals weighing above 450kg (1000lb) at close ranges. This force is nothing more than the acceleration of water away from the path of the bullet, hopefully leading to a wound channel larger than the bullet diameter. I wasted little time getting it to the range, and in a proper left-hand rifle I can offer more detailed shooting impressions. While the Hornady bullets are excellent, handloading for the .375 Ruger will open the floodgates of possibilities. It is potentially unwise to have a brake fitted to a short guide rifle to be used around clients. The 260 grain Partition is very useful for hunting game weighing up to 450kg (1000lb). The .375 Ruger cartridge case was used by Hornady as the basis for a new extra-long-range cartridge, since it had the capability to operate with high chamber pressures, which combined with a neck and barrel throat optimized for loading relatively long and heavy .308 diameter very-low-drag bullets without the need to seat the bullets deeply recessed into the case result in adequate muzzle velocities from magnum-sized bolt-action rifles. 3 MOA over the bench and with a sled equates to around 6 MOA in the field if the hunter can keep his cool and more likely 9 MOA in real word conditions. The Woodleigh is a fast killer of light framed game at bush / woods ranges but is somewhat underutilized in this role. Discontinued hard to find Hornady 225 grain 375 Caliber. Scott Rupp gets a chance to talk to Aaron Oelger about a few new products from Hodgdon and why reloading store shelves are empty. Of the two the 270 grain bullet tends to strike the balance regarding velocity versus penetration. Those who wish to experiment with it for hunting will need to utilize either a custom action with a generous length magazine box or be prepared to single feed loads into the M77 action. But understand this: if you cannot test shoot this rifle without using a lead sled, do not expect to miraculously become Matthew Quigley in the field without it. How is the recoil with DG rounds? Suggested sight settings and bullet paths. Bottles & 12-oz. The .378 Weatherby, on the other hand, has never been popular because it is too much of a good thing: too much more recoil and too fast for most .375 bullets. Even then, performance can be limited should the SMK fail to meet enough resistance or if ranges are pushed too far versus the diameter of the meplat. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles. Since 1912 the .375 H&H has provided one of the finest one-rifle safari batteries available, and in a shorter, lighter, handier rifle with a .30-06-length action the .375 Ruger will do the same. Both are go-to bullet designs for game weighing around 600kg (1300) but, like the TSX, are best used at very close ranges where energy is high. CX Outfitter Item #823374 | 20/Box Adventure Awaits!. The Dakota, Ruger and Nosler cartridges are essentially wider versions of the basic 2.5 belted magnums (.264 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, .338 Win Mag). For more information on this subject please read The Practical Guide To Long Range Hunting Cartridges. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in short-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was shortened to 2.10in (53mm), which is similar to the .308 Winchester case. One simply cannot overlook these factors. It uses a .532-inch rim diameter (the same as the .375 H&H and its subsequent offspring) which I assume would make it financially beneficial to machine the rifles bolt, and a rimless design with very little body taper. However, it is good to see the likes of Woodleigh working towards optimal hydraulic force potential through the creation of their concaved solid bullets. The DGS bullet is also steel clad. A new wrinkle on the Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger is this sturdy, visible fixed-blade rear sight, a vast improvement over the folding-leaf sight long supplied on the M77 Mk II. The author's left-hand Ruger M77 Mk II in .375 Ruger groups very acceptably with the 270-grain Hornady Interlock. Both rifles had the new iron sights, and I like them very much; they are far superior to the "mostly for looks" folding leaves long supplied. Both the African and Alaskan weighed around 9.5lb (4.25kg) with scope and sling which is to be considered light for a potent medium bore. Although it has since spawned the .416 Ruger and the shortened Ruger Compact Magnums (RCMs), it started as an original case design that used the .532-inch rim but without a belt, the case is fatter with little body taper and a 60-degree shoulder. In some cases the broadside shot is not always the most suitable for this and instead it can be better to wait for a shot which places the animal lightly quartering on, allowing the bullet to strike the very center of the shoulder ball joint, after which the bullet can then pass through the forwards portion of the lungs. But in cases where the design of the rifle simply produces intolerable recoil (as many do), one may simply have to lose 100fps or utilize a brake. For almost anyone, however, the .375 Ruger kicks enough to take some getting used to, and I don't recommend shooting it off the bench any more than is absolutely necessary. Therefore to say that the Sierra can expand at 1600fps only relays a part of the picture, especially when its expansion is both limited and very much reliant on some degree of resistance (shoulder muscles and bone) in order to be at least partially effective. It came as no surprise that the first was a safari-style rifle. Savage Arms 110 Bear Hunter Rifle | 57047 375 Ruger, 23" Stainless BBL, Bolt Action, AccuFit MOBUC Camo Stock, Matte Stainless Finish, Adj Muzzle Brake, 2+1 Rds. All rights reserved. Copyright 2000-2023 24hourcampfire.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Otherwise, this is an outstanding bullet design. OK, I was actually, grudgingly, impressed. The following will focus on a smaller number of select bullet designs of interest, organized by bullet weight rather than brand. This projectile is most useful where lower impact velocities are to be expected or where game weights are between 300 and 600kg (660 to 1300lb), though 600kg should be considered the upper limit. In his hands the .375 Ruger performed at least as well as any .375 H&H I've ever seen. In rifles which yield full velocities of 2850fps, the 260 grain Partition breaks 2200fps at around 235 yards and 1800fps at around 400 yards. Hornady would do well to bring this bullet back or offer an SST or ELD-X alternative. At 270 yards a 10mph cross wind send the Sierra flat point a full foot off course. .375 H&H Mag. The 270 Interlock Recoil Proof Interlock bullet featured in the .375 Ruger loading is a slightly modified version of the traditional Interlock. Environmental temperatures also have to be taken into consideration as loads developed in cool weather may prove totally unsuitable in hot climates. Anything anybody thought they needed in a .375 cartridge was done by Roy Weatherby, not once but twice (.375 and .378 Weatherby Magnums)--and again by Remington in 2000 with the .375 RUM. The front sight is Ruger's standard barrelband assembly with a highly visible 3/32-inch bead on the ramp. Discuss this article or ask a question on the forum here Hornady is the predominant source of ammunition for the .375 Ruger, and they offer a quartet of loads, making the cartridge suitable for nearly any hunting situation. A superior stock forend design would help a great deal to aid to recoil reduction and allow many users to do away with the brake altogether. Hornady on the other hand, have placed some focus on smooth feeding. By Greg Rodriguez.
