As it should be. The .375 Ruger can do it all, and do it well, and it's in excellent rifle platforms.

Hahaha! Nice! I can't talk. NS went the way of the NDP too. -.-
Now, aren't you glad you asked for advice on the internet?
Where else can you get 74 opinions from a dozen people, start a flame war, and end up knowing exactly what you knew in the first place?
So true. Sad also. People just can't get along these days.

Here we go again. . . . .
Your here we go again is ironic, as it's your post that makes me think those words, as in 'another smart ass wants to feel better...' This place is meant for discussing guns afterall, and we're all here for entertainment not academia.
It's a legitimate question, and no I don't shoot it but would love to hear about it if people here do, supposedly a marvelously efficient cartridge.
Yes I have a couple x57's, and it truly is an efficient cartridge, I shot two deer with one this year and it worked fine. Eat right up to the bullet hole with the 286 grain Privi and it steps out with the 250 ballistic tip in the FN 98 enough to make it a better choice in my eyes than the 358win or the 338 feeble.
Back to original topic though, either cartridge would be more than enough jam for what you want it for, Ive owned all three and settled on the x62 for myself but would be happy with a rifle in .323 .338,35, 9.3 or either of the .375's, find the rifle that fits you and meets your personal criteria, Its far more important than the particular hair splitting cartridge its chambered in.

Or you could have the best of both cartridges and have a 375 Chatfield-Taylor. Simply put, it's a 338WM necked up to 375cal.
It's THE original 375cal Short Mag and does not take second place to either the Ruger or H&H.
Unlike those out west, we in the east, we don't have to go for the cartridge of the day. We can do "cool" w/o having to jump on the current fad bandwagon.

Who opened this can of Bull####?
I like the .375 H&H because it's got 99 years of panache and still runs with the best of them. Also, I can get a Win 70 Safari and an Encore in that caliber. Supposed ballistic superiority or some vague advantage of short action and lighter weight be damned. The Holland and Holland was designed to be what it is and always was, and it does a superb job.

Nothing wrong with the good ol' .375 H&H but if Holland and Holland were designing a .375 cartridge today, it would look like the .375 RUger, and not the deposed king....
Regardless, if he is having an action rebarreled, he may as well look at all the options, and depending on the rifle, the .375 Ruger may be a better fit than the H&H anyway. One more of the NEW KING's advantages...

Well, hopefully people buy it in enough quantity to make the ammo cheaper, but until then I'll take the goodness of a tried and true high capacity low pressure belted and tapered round that feeds like butter.
Short cases don't make any difference in singles and doubles anyway. Also, the Win 70 Safari bolt travel is about the same as my Win 70 FWT in .270. I see little real-world advantage.
