Of the two the 270 grain bullet tends to strike the balance regarding velocity versus penetration. Environmental temperatures also have to be taken into consideration as loads developed in cool weather may prove totally unsuitable in hot climates. 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. The 235 grain Speer can be put to very good use in the Ruger. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt."

The 260 grain Partition is very useful for hunting game weighing up to 450kg (1000lb). From a very mild muzzle velocity of 2750fps, its soft front core ensures full energy transfer out to a range of around 200 yards or 2200fps. From a muzzle velocity of 2950fps the Sierra kills with style out to ranges of around 170 yards (2200fps), thereafter producing clean but sometimes delayed kills out to 270 yards (1800fps).

Between 2400 and 2200fps the TSX produces clean but delayed kills. Readers are advised to employ extra caution when using this bullet (and the heavier Accubond) in the .375 caliber on large bodied game or better still, avoid it altogether. Yes, the .375 bore is forgiving, but it has its limits. 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. Few others offer such a wide level of wounding. This can lead to disastrous results on large, heavy bodied animals. The Remington Model Seven is ready, willing and able to handle just about any task. The Ruger, has both a rim and base diameter of .534", making the body somewhat narrower than the former cartridges, yet still much wider than the .375 H&H. 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. The 235 grain Barnes TSX is the toughest of the light weight .375 pills with regards to major manufacturers. 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. 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. Looking at the case volume, in spite of being .270 inches shorter than the .375 H&H Magnum, the .375 Ruger actually has a greater volume; about 4 percent, depending on case brand.

This now discontinued Marinecoat and laminated stocked Patriot in .375 Ruger was the ideal rifle for coastal bear hunting on Vancouver Island. Although no longer listed, a quick mention must go to the now discontinued 225 grain Hornady Interlock. The first Ruger .375 rifles and Hornady ammunition were released to the shooting press in December 2006. Such was my attitude in early June 2006 when Steve Hornady and I went to Zimbabwe. The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game. 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. 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. If used in this manner the hunter must attempt to break heavy bone while also trying to angle shots through the autonomic plexus (see Game Killing section). Hornady 's new Superformance loads produce a bit more velocity, and the rifle refinements made by Hill Country Rifle make it more accurate and user-friendly. Loaded to velocities anywhere between 2950 and 3100fps (and higher in some rifles), this was a spectacular medium game bullet. Give a Gift These velocities are recorded in a 24 test barrel and in sporting rifles, results have averaged out to show that the 23 African loses an unnoticeable 25fps while the 20 barreled Alaskan rifles lose on average 100fps (the typical 25fps/inch). 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 .375 H&H provides one of the world's greatest benchmarks for performance. When hunting large thinned skinned game the Ruger can be used with great success out to ranges of around 500 yards. It was designed to use the same 1:12-inch twist rate of the .375 H&H Magnum barrels, the neck length of .305 inches, while shorter than one-caliber in length, has not posed an issue in my experience. Fast kills could be expected out to ordinary hunting ranges of around 300 yards with room for shot placement error. The trouble is that the larger the animal (or further the range) the more we may find ourselves simply under gunned when taking shoulder shots with a .375 caliber rifle. Thanks, Art & Dan for the heads up! The Partition will shed weight, but in doing so, it creates a very wide internal wound. 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. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles. The Ruger should therefore be considered very mild in this regard. Barrel Break-In: What It Is. 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 .375 Ruger has gone on to raise quite the family, including the .416 Ruger, the .300 and .338 Ruger Compact Magnums, and the 6.5 PRC and .300 PRC. 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. Impact velocity is also a key factor. This is best employed at very close ranges in order to keep its impact velocity well above 2600fps. 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. 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. Full production did occur until later in 2007. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. On the subject of high velocity, a hot .375 will produce rather stout recoil. While the Hornady bullets are excellent, handloading for the .375 Ruger will open the floodgates of possibilities. The Hornady Superformance ammunition drives a 270-grain (17g) SP-RP bullet at 2,840ft/s (870m/s) and the 300-grain (19g) DGS and DGX bullets at 2,660ft/s (810m/s). Similar to the design ideas for the WSM cartridge family, but somewhat narrower which will frequently allow one more cartridge in the rifle magazine than the WSM equivalent. I have run .375 Ruger ammo through such actions and so far it has fed great every time. The premiums can be divided into those that are relatively soft in nature versus those which are truly tough. 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. 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. Ken, Steve and Wayne could handle it. 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.

Steve Hornady, hunting with PH Paul Smith of Chifuti Safaris, took the first buffalo to fall to the .375 Ruger. Agree with gunworks on the Weatherby Vanguard. Tips, techniques, and equipment are applied to these classroom discussions on how to become more proficient and successful at making long-range shots while hunting with AR-platform rifles. 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.

Contributing Editor for RifleShooter Magazine, Brad Fitzpatrick gives us a review of this modernized version of an iconic favorite. 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. Two useful medium weight copper pills include the 250 grain Barnes TTSX and the 250 grain Hornady GMX, both producing similar performance. How the .375 Ruger is capable of taking the largest game: Slightly greater capacity than the .375 H&H Magnum. The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. I sleep better with it next to me in my tent in bear country. bullets with express sights and hitting a 12"x12" steel gong at 100yds. How is the recoil with DG rounds? 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. - 24hourcampfire Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Hop To Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 BP-B2 IC B2 IC B3 Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 CTV Who's Online Now 776 members ( 1936M71, 10gaugemag, 222ND, 12344mag, 10ring1, 91 invisible), 1,932 guests, and 1,289 robots. 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. A heavy bullet can afford to shed some weight and mass (energy transfer) as a means to promote trauma. Accuracy in this particular left-hand rifle is good, but in my opinion it's not as good as Steve Hornady's rifle was. But when hunting heavy game it is best to get very close. At 270 yards a 10mph cross wind send the Sierra flat point a full foot off course. The new Hornady 300 grain bonded DGX should (there is that doesnt actually know for sure should again) prove equally effective. 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. I have always liked 375 cartridges, the H&H was my prior favorite. His first trophy was a 40 inch buffalo. 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. The one cartridge which has, in my opinion, come the closest is the .375 Ruger. 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. This allows the cartridge to have a greater case capacity than a belted magnum case given cases of equal length. Unfortunately, while these authors may well have had successful results, such information tends to create unrealistic expectations and overconfidence in this projectile design. Wayne Holt shot a very fine sable, also at last light. 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. All of these subjects (including Ruger accurizing) are covered in great detail within my book series. That most people simply can not handle such a wide level of wounding ready.
