The NEW KING is taking off!

I've only owned one .375 H&H. It was a M98 Interarms(Zastava) and it fed as smooth as silk.

But, I have never owned a smoother feeding rifle than the .375 Ruger Bill Leeper built for me on a FN Mauser 98.
 
The 375 Ruger feeds fine, just like all the belted and unbelted magnums, the 30-06, 6he .308 and all the rest of the cartridges that don't have as much taper as a .375 H&H.

I've used rifles that failed to feed in .223, 7mmRM, 30-06, .303 Bitish, .338 WM and *gasp* .375 H&H.

In every case the feeding issue was due to a problem with the rifle, and had nothing to do with the cartridge.

Feeding and extraction criticism is a non -starter for the .375 Ruger cartridge!

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. :dancingbanana:

I have no need or desire for a 375 Ruger, since I have the true King, the 375 H&H. :D

The "Dunlop" stock is enough to turn me off that gun, never mind a soon-to-be obsolete caliber. :dancingbanana:

And I am sure it will serve you well so relax. Other people prefer the New King.
No need to bash it without any justification other than personal preference. Different strokes for different folks. :dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanana:

My 300 WSM feeds so nicely..Feeds and extracts with one finger. Probably a rifle issue.;)

Actually, it probably was,and not the first Remington I've had with the same issue. Load more than three and you've got problems. Spring and feed rail were the culprit. Had a 222 with same problem. The WSSM was a cartridge problem though.
Then again, I have a Ruger in 220 Swift that has no feed issues and that caliber often has feed issues, being semi-rimmed.........but now back to the real King,the 375 H&H. :D
 
Sort of a side issue perhaps but somewhat in line with the topic at hand. With todays trends to go toward WSM type calibers and cartridges, there must be a 'point of deminishing' returns. The trend I'm talking about is the going toward shorter but larger diameter cases. The ratio of the diameter to the length seems to be increasing, so, where is this point of deminishing return? Or, is the only 'real' governing factor magazine width and capacity? Any knowledgeable answers??
 
"Back in 1987 Ryan Breeding came up with one (Wildcat) based on the principle of getting "Magnum" power from a cartridge that fit a .30-06 length action. Ryan called his baby the .375 Breeding..."

Dimensions of the shortened .404 Jeffery case (Ruger figures in brackets):
2.600" (2.540") long
0.360" (0.305") neck length
0.541" (0.531") head diameter
0.531" (0.515") shoulder diameter
2.24" (2.2750") length to neck
25 (30) deg shoulder angle

300gr Sierra boattail - 90gr IMR 4831 = 2,919fps - 26" barrel @ 6000' altitude.

It looks like the Ruger is the slightly smaller and weaker 1/2 twin of the .375 Breeding. What kind of pedigree is that? Certainly not one of a king.:)

That's nice of you to waste your time to let us know that. :) So where is this Royal cartridge and what has it done recently? :dancingbanana::dancingbanana:

That's the best you can come up with?:rolleyes:

The Royal cartridge was not a mere "modification" of some round. It was an original. From it others "created" over 2 dozen cartridges, from the short 6.5mm RM to the .340 Wby and .458 Win Mag. and all of the ones in between. The true Royal one has killed more game than the Imposter/Pretender ever will. The days of killing game in the numbers they once were in Africa are long gone.

The Imposter/Pretender does nothing more than pay homage to the One, the true Royal by imitation. The marketing machine is in full gear, the masses are being bombarded and blinded by smoke and mirrors. Yet the strong and faithful know that the intangible qualities that make one rise to the top, to become Royalty, cannot be assailed by sales figures. But Royalty is not for everyone, and therefore not everyone can be expected to grasp the qualities that make "greatness". It is those who are blinded and confused. It is those who shout loudest, who make the most noise, who mimick their marketing puppet-masters.

While the knowing sit back and bask in the grace of true Royalty. I pity you for if you could only understand...


BTW - any idea on the pricing for those Howas?

where can I find a factory rifle that sells for under $1100 chambered in this breeder cartridge? probably still more common than a 375 Ultra or 378 Wby though!

Ah yes, those who know the price of everything, and the value of nothing...
