But nobody makes taking that amount of game look easy with a poor rifle or an unsuitable cartridge, nor can it be done without consistently good bullet performance. This is a very economical bullet for hunting heavy game. Made to work in Ruger actions, which couldn't fit full-length magnum cartridges. 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. *Hours vary by season & subject to change, Get Special Offers Delivered Right to Your Inbox. In this instance, I waited a long time for smaller bull to quarter on so that I could take this photo for demonstration purposes.
Although the Sierra can expand at 1600fps or 340 yards the wind drift is near two feet. Like the .376 Steyr that originates from the 9.364mm Brenneke and the .375 Dakota proprietary cartridge that originates from the .404 Jeffery, the .375 Ruger was designed to compete with the .375 H&H Magnum, yet have the advantage of having a rimless, beltless case and can function through a standard-length bolt-action rifle due to a shorter overall length. Certainly, they were good enough to go hunting with, and that's exactly what we did. 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. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. We've got you covered. .223 Remington6.5x55 Swedish .416 Remington Magnum .300 Winchester Short Magnum 28 Nosler 6.5 PRC .22 WMR .458 Winchester Magnum .204 Ruger .22 Hornet .280 Ackley Improved .240 Weatherby Magnum .458 Lott.264 Winchester Magnum.348 Winchester.33 Nosler.260 Remington.30-30 Winchester.416 Rigby.358 Norma Magnum.22 LR7mm-08 Remington8mm Remington Magnum.338 Federal.224 Valkyrie.338-06 A-Square9.3x62mm Mauser.257 Weatherby Magnum.45-70 Government.300 H&H Magnum.25-06 Remington.30-06 Springfield6.5 Creedmoor.300 Remington Ultra Magnum7mm Remington Magnum.470 Nitro Express.280 Remington.300 Winchester Magnum.270 Winchester.222 Remington.45 ACP.404 Jeffery.44 Remington Magnum.41 Remington Magnum.243 Winchester.338 Winchester Magnum.357 S&W Magnum6.5-284 Norma8x57 Mauser.38 Smith & Wesson Special7x57mm Mauser9mm Luger.35 Whelen.454 Casull.375 H&H Magnum.45 Colt.22-250 Remington10mm Auto.308 Winchester. 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. Wayne Holt shot a very fine sable, also at last light. During the course of nearly three weeks he took more than a dozen animals from impala to Cape buffalo in size with the .375 Ruger, and he managed to use all three of Hornady's loads for the new cartridge: 270-grain Interlock spirepoint, 300-grain InterBond roundnose and 300-grain FMJ roundnose. In his hands the .375 Ruger performed at least as well as any .375 H&H I've ever seen. Will the 375 Ruger remain a commercially available rifle/round? A heavy bullet can afford to shed some weight and mass (energy transfer) as a means to promote trauma. Such was my attitude in early June 2006 when Steve Hornady and I went to Zimbabwe. The .375 Ruger (9.565.5mm) is a rimless, standard-length rifle cartridge designed for the hunting of large, dangerous game. Wrap-around checkering provides a sure grip in any weather. He had reloads with .300 grain Hornady DGX Softs and solids. 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. 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. I have always liked 375 cartridges, the H&H was my prior favorite. Although very large, his cunning friend hiding in the vegetation behind him weighs around 900kg (1980lb). A person can end up with a very good rifle at fairly modest cost. You cannot drag your sled into the mountains with you so you might as well get used to shooting the rifle without it. Since it is a rimless, unbelted case that doesn't "step down" in front of the belt, it is thus a fatter case than the .375. Loaded to 3000fps the 250 grain Sierra (BC .371) breaks its 1800fps limit at around 520 yards. Based purely on case capacity, a fairly straight .532-inch-diameter case with a fairly sharp shoulder should do this, and it does. The Woodleigh and Swift 300 grain bullets are optimally suited to close range work on large heavy game, achieving a good balance of expansion versus penetration. Versatility is a key word when considering the .375 bore. 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. Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. I wasn't worried, but I was definitely concerned; if he didn't get him down on the spot, we would have a hard time finding him before morning. This bullet differs quite simply in that it does not have any exposed lead at the bullet tip, similar to the Remington CoreLokt. 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. Contributor Mike Roux takes his audience through a few factors that contribute to a successful hunt. Seldom will I ever choose the 300 grain bullet. The .375 Ruger is a splendid cartridge for medium game in bush / woods hunting situations, it is an exceptional performer on large bodied game and a modest performer on heavy game. Unfortunately, while these authors may well have had successful results, such information tends to create unrealistic expectations and overconfidence in this projectile design. Forerunners to the .375 Ruger are the .376 Steyr and the .375 Dakota. 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. A main strength of these cartridges are in their ability to produce optimal performance in long actions which lack generous magazine lengths. As far as I know, these are the only production lever rifles offered in .375 Winchester and the .375 caliber versions are long discontinued, although Winchester still offers .375 factory . [11] This round is designed for hunting medium- to large-sized North American game. We got on that herd in late afternoon, with very little time for finesse. The .375 Ruger was designed with the latest generation of powders in mind. Hornady would do well to bring this bullet back or offer an SST or ELD-X alternative. Quite a recoiling beast that most people simply cannot handle. At the time of writing (2017) the .375 Ruger has maintained high popularity. It has been used to take roe deer, reindeer, ibex, and more. Semi-automatic and striker-fired, the P320-XTEN is extremely accurate, easy to shoot even with powerful 10mm loads and holds 15-plus-one rounds. In any case, leave it to the reader to experiment and decide which methods and materials prove best for his or her individual situation. Perhaps the most spectacular example was, at least to my eye, Ken Jorgensen's buffalo. 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. The Alaskan rifle featured a Hogue plastic stock and 20 barrel, again with open sights. 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. At Sportsman's Warehouse, we offer bolt action rifles chambered in .375 Ruger from leading manufacturers including Mossberg, Ruger, and Savage Arms. The author and professional hunter J.P. Kleinhans with a good waterbuck, dropped in its tracks with a frontal shot with a 270-grain Hornady InterLock. 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. #14585314 02/18/20. of water (6.42cm3) compared to the H&H's 95. Velocity is an additional key factor as this increases target resistance further. 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. Sable are extremely tough, and this bull was in a big herd. The Double Tap achieves 2,825ft/s (861m/s) and 4,700ftlb (6,400J) with a 270-grain Barnes TSX from a 23-inch barrel Ruger 77 African. 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. The 260 grain Nosler Accubond was designed for use on large bodied game. The 260 grain Partition is very useful for hunting game weighing up to 450kg (1000lb). Released in 1912, the .375 H&H took a while to become the revered, all-around design we know; the Great War put a damper on international hunting adventures. 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.". As an aside, this is a very good bullet weight with regards to the actual construction of this bullet. Nevertheless, this economical projectile design was acceptable for hunting game weighing up to 600kg (1300lb). 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 350 grain Woodleigh round nose and protected point bullets come into their own on the heaviest of game where they are able to shed some weight and SD but continue to produce vivid wounding to a much deeper level than their 300 grain counterparts which can, if pushed too hard, suffer over-expansion. Used on medium game at ordinary hunting ranges expansion on impact is extremely fast and exit wounds often very large, in the region of 3-4 in diameter. It was designed as a dangerous game cartridge, particularly for use in Alaska and Africa. Copyright 2023Sportsman's Warehouse. Instead, the DGS seeks to find a compromise between terminal performance and smooth feeding from the Ruger action. 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. Instead, I simply see them as being more useful on game weighing around or more than 450kg (1000lb) where angling shots are expected or where there is a chance of having to tackle animals of exceptional size for their species. 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. Great bullets for a Savage 99 375 Winchester, a 375 Ruger, STW, and H&H. Price is per box of 100 bullets. Shot the factory 300gr. 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. 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. To start with, a person hunting in areas that are "off range" during . The first Ruger .375 rifles and Hornady ammunition were released to the shooting press in December 2006. Unlike Winchester Short Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Compact Magnums share the same diameter from case head to body. The new Hornady 300 grain bonded DGX should (there is that doesnt actually know for sure should again) prove equally effective. 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. I wasted little time getting it to the range, and in a proper left-hand rifle I can offer more detailed shooting impressions. 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][4][5], The .375 Ruger cartridge has functioned as the parent case for the 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), which is essentially a necked-down version of the .375 Ruger. The recommended rate of twist is one revolution in 12in (304.8mm). The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game. Again, getting close with an accurate rifle is the key. The Dakota has rim diameter of .543" and a base diameter of .545". The 270 grain bullet is useful on game up to 320kg (700lb) with all but tail on shots. Three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt or to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged. It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. If I was forced to chooseand thank Heaven that I am notjust one bore diameter to cover the entire range of the worlds big game, it would have to be the .375-inch bore diameter. Pintoguy is correct, Howa no longer lists the 375 Ruger, so they are hard to find. 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. 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). 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. 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. With the 375R necked down to 9.3, the 9.3x62 and the 9.3 Brenneke would pale in a comparison of performance. Need more information . 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. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was kept to 2.580in (65.5mm), which is only .04in (1.0mm) longer than the .270 Winchester case. Both are equipped with Ruger's scope-mounting system. Recommended maximum pressure for the cartridge is 62,000psi (4,300bar). 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. The .375 H&H provides one of the world's greatest benchmarks for performance. But if your heart is set on getting a 375 Ruger, as Charlie mentioned, go get a Ruger. 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. 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. If this projectile is to be used for killing the meplat must be modified. This allows the cartridge to have a greater case capacity than a belted magnum case given cases of equal length. 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. The Ruger should therefore be considered very mild in this regard. 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. One simply cannot overlook these factors. It is potentially unwise to have a brake fitted to a short guide rifle to be used around clients. Unless I`m mistaken Remington did not offer a brake on their 375 RUM rifle offerings. Discuss this article or ask a question on the forum here
Bought the last 3 boxes of 375 Ruger 300 gr Dangerous game rounds at the local Wallmart at $19 a box. There are a few easy modifications to improve the feeding reliability. Between 2200 and 2000fps (280 yards), killing is clean but can be somewhat delayed. 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. Tho with good case prep, Hornady brass will bring very good accuracy. It is designed to provide an increase in performance over the .375 H&H cartridge, yet to be chambered in a standard-length action rifle. The names are often meaningless. 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. Mossberg & Sons produced bolt-action rifles of the "Patriot" series chambered in .375 Ruger with different stock options. Unfortunately, this puts the blast near the shooter, more so from the 20 barreled rifle. Alternatively, look to the .375 RUM, the .378 Weatherby or the even larger .375 Chey Tac. In the shorter Alaskan rifle, figures average 50 to 75fps below these and in custom 24 barreled rifles, readers should add 25fps. Now, as I set about releasing my research, Hornady have finally adopted core bonding. Loaded to velocities anywhere between 2950 and 3100fps (and higher in some rifles), this was a spectacular medium game bullet. Of the solid bullet designs, the round nose solids are gradually being superseded by flat or concave tip bullets capable of producing some measure of hydraulic force. The WSM's and RCM's seem to have fallen behind. |
At 270 yards a 10mph cross wind send the Sierra flat point a full foot off course. Steve Hornady, hunting with PH Paul Smith of Chifuti Safaris, took the first buffalo to fall to the .375 Ruger. Good luck with Dorian on Monday. I do not know his reload recipe other than he used Winchester powder. 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. The one cartridge which has, in my opinion, come the closest is the .375 Ruger. Though it does few things perfectly, it truly does everything, and is possibly the most flexible bore diameter available. 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. To get started, click the link below to visit mymagnow.com and learn how to access your digital magazine. #3. I haven't shot the 260/270gr. This should (note the unqualified should of hoping and guessing) allow for more uniform mushrooming and quite possibly an outstanding bullet. Full production did occur until later in 2007. On Wednesday, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) sent a notice of intent to sue to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for alleged violations of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), due to the hunting of gray wolves in Wyomings Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Both feature near double thickness jackets compared to the smaller bore Sierra bullets and both feature tougher cores. 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 left hand rifle options are also greatly appreciated. Searching for Oryx in these conditions can be challenging on a couple levels. By the same token wind drift is a major concern and to this end, the 2600fps load really is best used at close ranges. Absent a spine shot, this truly is as good as it gets and is a very rare thing to observe. I left Ken and Wayne in Mozambique to do a bit more hunting and headed home. Hornady on the other hand, have placed some focus on smooth feeding. of energy at the muzzle, making it adequate to handle all of the worlds game species. In another box was plenty of Hornady ammo. One of Ruger's goals was to achieve .375 H&H performance in a shorter rifle. During the spring conservation order, you can hunt with outfitters from Arkansas to Saskatchewan. This feral cattle beast weighs around 600kg (1300lb). 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. 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. 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. Both these cartridges were designed to fit standard length long actions. RifleShooter Magazine editor Scott Rupp breaks down all the features of the Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. It remained cloaked in secrecy for some time, but so what?
