Otherwise, see the .375 Ruger for what it is, an affordable and extremely useful medium bore. But if your heart is set on getting a 375 Ruger, as Charlie mentioned, go get a Ruger. Additionally, the .375 Ruger yields around 6% greater case capacity than the .375 H&H. Hornady on the other hand, have placed some focus on smooth feeding. 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. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles. From a muzzle velocity of 3000fps the TSX breaks 2600fps at around 115 yards, 2400fps at 180 yards and 2200fps at around 240 yards. As for the buffalo, it was an epic adventure. Unfortunately, this is something that comes more naturally with time and experience. Absent a spine shot, this truly is as good as it gets and is a very rare thing to observe. The Ruger should therefore be considered very mild in this regard. The .300 Ruger Compact Magnum or .300 RCM was designed in 2007 and uses a case designed by Hornady and Ruger based on the .375 Ruger cartridge. His first two shots were broadside at forty to fifty yards. Between 2200 and 2000fps (280 yards), killing is clean but can be somewhat delayed. The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game. "If you could only have one rifle worldwide, the .375 Ruger would be my choice.". It is for these reasons that as much as I like the Swift and Woodleigh medium weight bullets, I do not see them as being ideal for heavy game. To get started, click the link below to visit mymagnow.com and learn how to access your digital magazine. There have been many cartridges designed to compete or replace the .375 H&H, including the .375 Weatherby Magnum and its larger brother the .378 Weatherby Magnum, the .375 Dakota, the .376 Steyr and the .375 Remington Ultra Magnum; while all of them have a following, none have approached the flowing of the H&H design. If the hunter can visualize both the point of the shoulder and forwards portion of the lungs and work the angles according to the situation this will increase the ability of the bullet (any bullet) to produce a fast kill. At Sportsman's Warehouse, we offer bolt action rifles chambered in .375 Ruger from leading manufacturers including Mossberg, Ruger, and Savage Arms. The Barnes 270 and 300 grain TSX projectiles work best when driven as fast as safely possible and used at close ranges on heavy game weighing between 600 and 700kg (1300 to 1540lb) or more. The 235 grain Speer can be put to very good use in the Ruger. The .375 Ruger's slightly greater case capacity, and the "short fat" cartridge efficiency lead to increases in the neighborhood of 150 fps over the H&H cartridge. He had reloads with .300 grain Hornady DGX Softs and solids. The Woodleigh handles raking shots relatively well but is prone to lose a great deal of its sectional density if used to take Texas heart shots at close ranges.

Bottles & 12-oz. Velocity is an additional key factor as this increases target resistance further. With regards to long range shooting the Sierra 350 grain match bullet may seem appealing for long range work but it is not designed for killing. This bull took the bullet, tried to turn, fell over and didn't get back up. 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. Great bullets for a Savage 99 375 Winchester, a 375 Ruger, STW, and H&H. Price is per box of 100 bullets. Barnes for example produce a 270 grain bullet but experience leads me to believe that this really only comes into its own on the heaviest of animals or in the most potent of .375 magnums. In the Dangerous Game Series, Hornady loads their 270-grain InterLock spitzer at a muzzle velocity of 2840 fps, yielding a trajectory identical to the lighter 250-grain bullet and making it a perfect choice for bear, elk, moose, African plains game and the big cats as well. In 2006, Ruger and Hornady introduced the .375 Ruger with a 2.58-inch case and the Holland's .532-inch rim, but it had no belt, headspacing instead on a 30-degree shoulder a fetching design. The rules here are rather simple; the more the momentum of the bullet is interrupted on impact the greater the energy transfer (hydraulic force). The .375 Ruger cartridge and Ruger Hawkeye African bolt rifle are not flashes in the pan, but the author thought they could stand a little improvement. At impact velocities of 2600fps or slower neither can be called emphatic. There are certainly many rave reviews of this projectile to be found in gun rag write ups and online articles. Those who wish to push the envelope and shoot further need to understand that this bullet can produce very poor performance at long ranges, depending on shot placement and target resistance. Suggested sight settings and bullet paths. Do however keep in mind that the BC for this bullet is low (.380) therefore wind drift is a concern. This bullet is most spectacular at impact velocities above 2400fps but displays vivid performance down to 2200fps. Sep 21, 2015. The Ruger Muzzle Brake System includes a removable, radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil. If using a lighter bullet we need to think about increasing retained weight after impact and using velocity to (hydraulic force) to promote trauma. Only problem is that you are limited to only Hornady brass. This was a walnut-stocked rifle, 23-inch barrel, good iron sights. Sable are extremely tough, and this bull was in a big herd. Nevertheless, this economical projectile design was acceptable for hunting game weighing up to 600kg (1300lb).

Ruger have cut down the barrel lengths of their rifles so that they are not overly long (no longer than a regular 26 barreled magnum) or cumbersome when fitted with muzzle brakes. off hand standing position. The WSM's and RCM's seem to have fallen behind. The company is introducing the .375 Ruger in two configurations under the M77 "Hawkeye" name: a wooden-stock, 23-inch-barrel model called the M77 Hawkeye "African" and a Jim Hogue synthetic-stock, 20-inch-barrel version, which will be known as the "Alaskan.". The .375 Ruger was introduced in 2007 as a rimless standard length cartridge that is slightly larger in powder capacity and energy than the .375 H & H Magnum (a belted and tapered cartridge) , widely used in Africa all the way up to Elephant. It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." 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. Such was my attitude in early June 2006 when Steve Hornady and I went to Zimbabwe. On heavy dangerous game many experienced hunters would agree that the .375 caliber is adequate but less forgiving than calibers above .400 if shot placement is not exact. Hornady currently produce four Superformance loads for the .375 Ruger: the 250 grain GMX (homogenous copper bullet) at 2900fps, the 270 grain SP-RP Interlock at 2840fps, the 300 grain Dangerous Game Expanding (DGX) at 2660fps and the 300 grain steel jacketed Dangerous Game Solid (DGS) also at 2660fps.

Wayne Holt checking zero on his synthetic-stocked Ruger M77 Mk II in .375 Ruger. NE Alberta. On plains game the .375 Ruger continued its spectacular performance, but that should also not be a surprise. Any petals lost during penetration can be treated as being acceptable under the conditions. Hinterland #: 78027. He shot like a machine, making difficult shots look easy and easy shots look like child's play. This can lead to disastrous results on large, heavy bodied animals. 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 who wish to body shoot heavy game with this bullet must understand that wounding will be limited. Copyright 2000-2023 24hourcampfire.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved. I haven't shot the 260/270gr. 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. I doubt it; there are just too many great rifles chambered for the H&H, too many ammunition choices, as well as too many devotees of the old, belted case. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how very useful this (and other .375 kin including the H&H) can be in this manner. The efficiency of the cartridge actually yields a dual bonus. This allowed Ruger to chamber the cartridge in their existing standard length M77 rifle, without needing to use their M77 Safari Magnum Rifle. This is not damning with faint praise, not at all. When I do, things are pretty serious. That said, the wounding potential of any solid bullet design is always less than that of an expanding bullet. Such rifles can be a true please to own once bedded and tuned. It is worth noting that some rifles can exceed the averages listed here by up to or more than 100fps. During the spring conservation order, you can hunt with outfitters from Arkansas to Saskatchewan.

The .375 Ruger (9.565.5mm) is a rimless, standard-length rifle cartridge designed for the hunting of large, dangerous game. It is very significant for Ruger because its .375-length (actually, a full-size magnum that also accommodates the .416 Rigby) action is only built into its M77 Mk II "express" rifle, an excellent rifle that is more than twice as expensive as the standard Ruger M77 Mk II--which is only available in a .30-06-length action. 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. American ammunition manufacturer Hornady got the 300 PRC SAAMI-standardized in 2018. Ken and J.P. maneuvered as long as they could, but when the sun was almost setting they used the standard last-light field-expedient tactic of charging into the herd, hoping the bull they'd selected would do the right thing. 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 recommended rate of twist is one revolution in 12in (304.8mm). Tail on shots should be limited to game under 80kg, however on larger game tail on wounds created by the Interlock are often severe enough to allow follow up shots. Yukon Territory, Canada. These bullets work well when facing game weighing 700kg (1540lb) and above. The 260 grain Nosler Accubond was designed for use on large bodied game. As Ken had promised, when I got home there was a long Ruger box awaiting me, and in it was the very first left-hand Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger. 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. The first Ruger .375 rifles and Hornady ammunition were released to the shooting press in December 2006. One could go so far as to call it the medium bore work horse equivalent of the ever reliable .308 Winchester. 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. I wasted little time getting it to the range, and in a proper left-hand rifle I can offer more detailed shooting impressions. Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. 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 .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. The advent and acceptance of .404" beltless magnums such as the .375 RUM inspired Ruger to develop a potent magnum without having to alter their inexpensive cast action design. This is one of the great virtues of the medium bores and why it is such a shame when hunters label them as being suitable for big game only. The 250 grain bullet works acceptably well on smaller deer species at close to moderate ranges but its true forte is on large bodied deer. The Partition will shed weight, but in doing so, it creates a very wide internal wound. 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 .338 Ruger Compact Magnum or .338 RCM is a rimless, short-length rifle cartridge based on the .375 Ruger case. I left Ken and Wayne in Mozambique to do a bit more hunting and headed home. Of the heavy weight premium bullets the 300 grain Nosler is the softest. In this instance, I waited a long time for smaller bull to quarter on so that I could take this photo for demonstration purposes. Apart from this small change, the RP Interlock performs the same as the traditional bullet. Impact velocity is also a key factor. At Sportsman's Warehouse, we offer bolt action rifles chambered in .375 Ruger from leading manufacturers including Mossberg, Ruger, and Savage Arms. Both are equipped with Ruger's scope-mounting system. Regarding the solid bullet designs: these are most useful for CNS shooting. The full velocity increase can be had from a slightly shorter barrel--as in 22 or 23 inches--and a short 20-inch barrel at least equals and will generally exceed .375 H&H velocity. 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. I'm leaving in just a few days, and that left-hand .375 Ruger is already in my gun case, with both solids and softs in my bulging duffel bag. Features an engraved Ruger logo and patented latch that is flush with the trigger guard to avoid accidental dumping of cartridges. The .375 Ruger is not the .375 H&H, but it measures up well, and in all ways. 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. Do the iron sights hit poi with 260/270gr.bullets ?

I have always liked 375 cartridges, the H&H was my prior favorite. Ho hum, yawn. 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. 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. [11] This round is designed for hunting medium- to large-sized North American game. At 270 yards a 10mph cross wind send the Sierra flat point a full foot off course. The 270 Interlock Recoil Proof Interlock bullet featured in the .375 Ruger loading is a slightly modified version of the traditional Interlock. Too many times I hear of a hunter stating that his gun only groups 3 MOA but this should be fine for very large animals. Fast kills could be expected out to ordinary hunting ranges of around 300 yards with room for shot placement error. Wayne had one in the Jim Hogue synthetic, the only difference from the version that will hit the market being that his still wore a 23-inch barrel rather than the 20-inch tube that will appear on the production model. The front sight is Ruger's standard barrelband assembly with a highly visible 3/32-inch bead on the ramp.

Scott Rupp gets a chance to talk to Aaron Oelger about a few new products from Hodgdon and why reloading store shelves are empty. It came as no surprise that the first was a safari-style rifle. Personally, I don't give much of a hoot about the extra velocity. The tip of the DGS is flat to aid stability (prevent tumbling) during penetration but can also provide a small degree of hydraulic trauma during penetration. It was designed to fit and function in the many "standard length" bolt-actions that work with cartridges like the 7mm Remington and .300/,338 Winchesters Magnums. For a couple of hundred bucks, a good gunsmith can tune the action and refine the trigger. The only special feature--and it's a good one--is that these rifles have a very good and sturdy fixed-blade rear sight with a 3/32-inch front bead on a barrelband ramp. This is due to the .375 H&H Magnum having a long, tapered body, while the .375 Ruger follows modern cartridge designs in that it has very little taper and a sharper shoulder. It was designed as a dangerous game cartridge, particularly for use in Alaska and Africa. It is potentially unwise to have a brake fitted to a short guide rifle to be used around clients.

Although bullet construction is always the most important consideration for fast and clean killing. Further to this, do not be quick to blame poor accuracy as being the result of a hot load. RifleShooter Magazine editor Scott Rupp breaks down all the features of the Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. Their capabilities remain essentially comparable. bullets yet. [8] The 300 PRC cartridge case capacity is 6.2ml (95.5 grains) H2O. It is my opinion that the primary reason the .376 Steyr failed is because it didn't come close enough in performance. The following will focus on a smaller number of select bullet designs of interest, organized by bullet weight rather than brand. The key here is to put aside notions of extremely fast kills. Seldom will I ever choose the 300 grain bullet. 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. As for the Ruger rifle, while very cheap and often displaying poor accuracy out of the box, the M77 action can be accurized and made into an extremely reliable rifle. To say that performance was spectacular is an understatement. All Rights Reserved. A poorly selected .375 caliber bullet will always be vastly more forgiving than a poorly chosen .30 caliber bullet when facing the likes of Alaskan Brown bear. But there are some animals which are just so large and tough that unless we were to use a Chey-Tac, or perhaps a .50 BMG, there is simply no way they are going to go straight down with ordinary body shots and there is no point chasing maximum velocities. Most of the time a bull hit in this manner will take three or four steps forward to regain his balance, then he'll whirl and run the almost obligatory 50 or 60 yards of a buffalo hit perfectly in the chest. Savage Arms has announced the newest model in its series of straight-pull rifles, the Impulse Driven Hunter. 2023 Outdoor Sportsman Group. The premiums can be divided into those that are relatively soft in nature versus those which are truly tough. The 375 H&H and 375 Ruger probably contributed somewhat to the sales decline of new Remy 375 RUMs. 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. 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.

The bull had been bedded during the stalk, but just as we got in range and got set, he got up and faced me. This bullet differs quite simply in that it does not have any exposed lead at the bullet tip, similar to the Remington CoreLokt. 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. 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. The title of the series may be Long Range, but the subject matter is highly pertinent to finding one's mojo with the medium bores whether used in close or out long. Thread Pattern: 5/8in-18. So what should that alone tell you. 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. This is the third iteration of this projectile design. Perhaps the most spectacular example was, at least to my eye, Ken Jorgensen's buffalo. The .375 Ruger also labors under giant velocity spikes between one shot to another with Hornady ammo, sometimes in excess of 150 FPS. The cartridge is based on the .375 Ruger case, which was necked up to accept a .416in (10.6mm) bullet. It is vital that the hunter understand how to work his angles when using these bullet designs and that his rifle is accurate. of water (6.42cm3) compared to the H&H's 95.

Between 2400 and 2200fps the TSX produces clean but delayed kills. The Outfitter load features a 250-grain GMX (a lead-free choice), at a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps and will give a trajectory much like a .308 Winchester with a 180-grain bullet; with a 200-yard zero, itll strike eight inches low at 300 yards and 23 inches low at 400 yards.
