ALthough I have a fair amount of .375 Ruger brass, I just picked up some .30 cal cast bullets and will turn some .300WM brass into .375 Ruger, just for the fun of it!
If you want to save a bunch of powder, use a filler like CoW or cornmeal, I found it took 80+ grains of 3031 to properly form just using a bullet, I should have used some filler and probably about 1/2 the powder, or a different powder.

26 pages for me.
might want to adjust your settings.
But yes, ther 375 Ruger is such an incredibly popular topic, that there is almost 650 posts on this thread alone!
And yet they do come back to this thread
Over and over and over......
The allure of the NEW KING is just too great for them to withstand!
I think we all know what comes next................

The .375 Ruger is going on a bear hunt tomorrow. Since I may have a shot at 300 meters, the bullet of choice will be the flat shooting 250 Grain Barnes TTSX.
Good luck ! That 250 TTSX is a good penetrator bullet for sure ! Bring us some pics and a good storey back !

Well Jim, I saw bears, but none that I wanted... Kinda holding out for this nice cinnamon one, maybe next time out!
I am all tagged up this spring. Got one on the 12th and one on the 17th. the one on the 12th was 60yds lung shot and it dropped hard. the 17th was a Big bore at 5yds. We were spot and stocking him. He was so focused on my buddy he didn't know I was there. then he spooked and came up the hill at me ( not a charge. he didn't know I was there) Glad I had my 375ruger for that one. Both bears were shot with Ruger Alaskan 375Ruger and 300g Sierra SBT.
Very happy with that bullet. toonie size exits and no bloodshot meat.
Here is my friends first bear/Game animal . A cinnamon too boot. He shot it with a Browning Xbolt 300WM
