Waaaaait a minute, I just checked the data.
From Hodgdon:
.375 H&H 81.5gr H4350, 300gr SP 2645fps
.375 Ruger 80.7gr H4350, 300gr SP 2660fps
How is that the new king?
The H&H has been at it for a century now. Same difference, and in that case, I'll stick with the more popular, more established, better extracting cartridge.

A little less powder, a little more velocity, standard long action, no feeding issues. Do you have a point here
How is that the new king?
Never had an extraction issue with my .375Ruger nor have I heard of any extraction issues.
Can anyone say that they have had an extraction issue or witnessed first hand an issue..................
Nobody..........................
Just like I thought. Now bow, pay your respects. The new KING has arrived.
Waaaaait a minute, I just checked the data.

.375 H&H 81.5gr H4350, 300gr SP 2645fps

Haven't you been paying attention the last couple of years?
That's what makes it the NEW KING. Updated case, handy rifle package, feeds fine, extracts fine and has similar time proven performance.
The .375 Ruger is what the H&H would have looked like if it had been introduced today. Any cartridge that was introduced today that looked like the H&H would get laughed at.
ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
A little less powder - no practical advantage
a little more velocity - no practical advantage
standard long action - no practical advantage
no feeding issues - no advantage because the H&H is one of the slickest feeding rounds anyways.
The point is crystal clear - the Ruger offers no practical advantage to the proven and well established H&H.
This was already dealt with when the NEW KING first arrived. Might want to do a search for some of the NEW KING threads of the past.

Feeding issues on a 375 H&H?.....That's a new one.
Tapered case makes for very smooth feeding, unlike fat short cases like WSM,SAUM and perhaps 375 Ruger. I do remember some folks having feeding troubles in their new Hawkeye 375's,no?
Hodgdon's printed data sheets shows a 24" barrel for both the Ruger and the H&H.

I don't think I said anything about 375HH feeding. It is a well known fact that they feed very smoothly. Do you have experience with 375 Ruger feeding or are you just another "Someone said " kind of guy.
