Seems like your stocking a lot of brass for a caliber that is wildly popular and will be around for ever:rolleyes:

It's funny when people interpret things out of ignorance.:p

When I first got the rifle, I bought all that was available, so I didn't have to go looking for a long time. Since they are having issues keep ing up with production, seems like I made the right choice.:p

I have about 500 or more cases of every rifle I use on a regular basis. I just loaded 400 rounds of .223 on my progressive press and it looks like I have another 600 or so that I need to load.... I have at least 1000 45 ACP cases and I dont' shoot handguns that much. I have 300 or more .303 British cases, but I don't have a .303 British rifle. I'm happy I have those cases though, since I hope to have a Ruger #1 so chambered sometime in the future.

The rifle and cartridge are popular, and I don't see Hornady halting production of brass any time soon. In fact, I expect Winchester or some other company to start making brass in the future.:)

It is the fastest production .375 caliber, but it is not The King. For a cartridge to be The King, it has to actually be popular. Sorta like why the 30-06 is still the King of the .30 calibers, when there are faster cartridges available.

Hope that clears it up for you.:p

many peaple dont shoot the 378 because of cost and recoil but man does it work well

I was referring to bearkilr's statement "Not sure that you mean, the 375 H&H is by no means proprietary."....
How long was the H&H a proprietary round, before others picked it up? How long WAS the 375 Ruger a proprietary round, before others picked it up?
Catch up to me in 5 years, and we'll see just how great the Ruger becomes!

Later........
 
Geez. Lot's of hostility here. Maybe it's the dancing banana that set folks off.:)

I like the .375 Ruger enough that I had Leeper build me one on a Mauser 98 action. It's a perfect fit for the action and makes a nice package. I could have gone with the H&H but didn't want to #### around with making the longer round fit and function properly. I could have gone with a factory rifle for about the same cost but then it wouldn't have been a Mauser.:cool:

As for performance difference between the two? Well, there isn't any of significance. The Ruger is a bit faster but I can probably throw a rock faster than the difference. With my 21" barrel, velocities are about the same as those out of a 24" H&H that I sold awhile back.

It's a good thing that Howa and CZ are building rifles for the Ruger round. More choices are always better and it shows an acceptance of the cartridge within the industry. With any kind of luck, we might start seeing brass from other companies.
 
Sheesh, this NEW KING thing again?!:rolleyes::kickInTheNuts:
It seems Gatehouse doesn't want to let everyone forget that Ruger has made a 375...Good for Ruger/Hornady, they created a cartridge that has caused a stir and people are emptying their wallets, YIYAHHH!! Let it go already.

I think the OP needs to find himself a GF...:D;):eek:

375 wooger is a late riser, following the 35 Newton and 9,3x64 who have each been around a century or so. I wish they would have brought one of them back from the grave instead.

9.3x64 has been resurrected as the .376 Steyr. Right on the heels of the .375 Ruger with a slightly smaller case.
