If the rifle is to be used at long ranges then a longer rifle action such as the M700 will allow long bullets to be utilized within the magazine box. It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." 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. We put nearly eight miles on our boots working a herd. Those who hunt in Alaska would be hard pushed to find a better cartridge than this. 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. This projectile is in essence designed to be used for taking CNS shots on the heaviest of game. Regarding the solid bullet designs: these are most useful for CNS shooting. The 235 grain Woodleigh Weldcore protected point is ideal for larger bodied medium game. 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. Now if it does go away I have brass! He shot like a machine, making difficult shots look easy and easy shots look like child's play. Additionally, the .375 Ruger yields around 6% greater case capacity than the .375 H&H. Zeroing off the bench with the Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger. 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. Sep 21, 2015. The key here is to put aside notions of extremely fast kills. With deep penetration and high weight retention, the DGX Bonded has earned a great reputationbonding the core to the jacket solved some jacket/core separation issuesand the DGS remains a fantastic choice for backup on buffalo, or for hunting elephant. - 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. As an aside, this is a very good bullet weight with regards to the actual construction of this bullet. At this time of writing there are now many buzz words used to label and describe bullets that are designed to enhance hydraulic action. The company's new Hawkeye--essentially a Model 77 with a more slender profile and better handling qualities--became the platform for a Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. Of the premium middle weight projectiles there are several which can be put to use in the .375 Ruger to good effect. The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. At 2600fps this is a very hard hitting load and fast killing out to ranges of around 90 to 100 yards, producing clean but sometimes delayed killing down to impact velocities of around 1800fps or 200 yards. 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 bull had been bedded during the stalk, but just as we got in range and got set, he got up and faced me. The efficiency of the cartridge actually yields a dual bonus. To say that performance was spectacular is an understatement. 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 270 Interlock Recoil Proof Interlock bullet featured in the .375 Ruger loading is a slightly modified version of the traditional Interlock. It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. 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. The Hawkeye African featured a wood stock and blued 23 barrel furnished with open sights. Although bullet construction is always the most important consideration for fast and clean killing. 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. 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. One could go so far as to call it the medium bore work horse equivalent of the ever reliable .308 Winchester. The .376 Steyr is based on the 9.3x64 Brenneke case and is a beltless case with a 0.495" rim diameter. Yes, the .375 bore is forgiving, but it has its limits. 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. 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. Anyone who has used Russian made steel jacketed soft point ammunition (often found in .223 and .308) will have at least some experience of how such ammunition can perform.

At the time of writing (2017) the .375 Ruger has maintained high popularity. 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. 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. He did. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt." Apart from this the Sierra has great merit. Test barrel lengths must also be taken into consideration when observing published data. Unfortunately, this puts the blast near the shooter, more so from the 20 barreled rifle. J. Scott Rupp takes a first look at the Springfield M1A Loaded rifle chambered in the popular 6.5 Creedmoor. 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 left hand rifle options are also greatly appreciated. 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. Mossberg Patriot .375 Ruger JakeH Jun 7, 2018 1 2 Next JakeH AH enthusiast Joined Jul 22, 2017 Messages 405 Reaction score 522 Location North Carolina Media 2 Hunting reports Africa 1 Member of NRA Hunted USA Jun 7, 2018 #1 Does anybody here have any firsthand experience with the Mossberg Patriot in .375 Ruger? 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. In 2007, it was released commercially and chambered in the Ruger Hawkeye African and the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan rifles.[2]. That or seek a superior stock 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). Made to work in Ruger actions, which couldn't fit full-length magnum cartridges.

While not earth shattering on its own, the wide and compact case is more efficient than the Holland & Holland which enables the Ruger to obtain similar results from a short 20 barrel while a 23 barreled Ruger boasts higher velocities than a 25 barreled H&H. The .375 Ruger is actually capable of generating higher velocities than the H&H, by roughly 100 fps in a 24-inch barrel. As for the buffalo, it was an epic adventure. [8] The 300 PRC cartridge case capacity is 6.2ml (95.5 grains) H2O. The Partition will shed weight, but in doing so, it creates a very wide internal wound. Currently, Hornady and Double Tap manufacture ammunition for the .375 Ruger cartridge. 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. It's OK, but, after all, the .375 H&H has been adequate since 1912, so I don't think that is what is most important about the new cartridge. I have run .375 Ruger ammo through such actions and so far it has fed great every time. How the .375 Ruger is capable of taking the largest game: Slightly greater capacity than the .375 H&H Magnum.
