.375 H&H Vs .338win VS. 9.3 X62?

N

Ruger realized that in order to attain more sales, they'd need to offer it in a proven caliber.

More like they saw a niche that could be filled. 9.3x62 is not a very popular cartridge among North Americans- Most have never heard of it. Certainly not a "proven" sales generator! :)

For most people, the .375 Ruger would be more appealing, as it's a "375" which is more familiar.
 
As we bump up against the centennial year of the H&H, I think we can safely say that it has proven itself.

The Ruger has been around less than 5 years. Proven? I'll bet a lot of us have packages in our freezers older than that.

Do we have to wait 100 years before a cartridge is "proven?":D

What is the criteria for being "proven?" Who gets to make the call on when something is "proven?":p

It will kill animals just as dead as the H&H. What more needs to be "proven?"

Maybe not a proven sales generator, but certainly a proven game getter worldwide. In any event, Ruger obviously sees the potential for sales when introducing the 9.3x62 in a caliber lineup of .223, .300 win mag, .338 win mag and .375 Ruger; most of which are ubiquitous with North American hunting and proven staples in every major manufacturer's lineup.
 
I load up my 21" barreled 375RUM with the two loads that I shoot in it exclusively now and neither is a top pressure load = 260gr Accubonds @ 3020fps and 350gr TSX @ 2450fps.

If the 20" barreled 375 Ruger comes close to my 375RUM's ballistics/performance your pressures must be freaking scary unsafe and my loads are just putting along...

:rolleyes:

So you would rather have a ruger with a plywood stock. Than say a Classic Bruno in in 9.3x62? With a Walnut Stock.
Your Daft...

ruger rifles in the real world are second class compared to Win. Mod. 70's CZ's/Brnos F/N 98's, Husqvarna. etc.
And what can the 375 ruger do that the 9.3x62 can't? It has been an African Caliber for a long long time.

You seem to think your the one that makes the "call" Why is that?
History is a good thing it tells us what works.

In what respect are Ruger rifles "second class" ?
I have examples of all the rifle makes described and the Rugers I shoot work as well, if not better, and kill things equally as dead as any of the rifles you have named.... :)

Not a fan of laminates. I prefer a macmillan stocked Ruger to a walnut stocked Brno. Had a Brno in 375 H&H. I far prefer the Alaskan King.

I like most CRF rifles, but until they chamber the .375 Ruger in a stainless rifle with a Macmillan stock, I'll stick with the Rugers...

I realize that you have limited experience but certainly even you can read a ballistic table? The Ruger can launch a larger bullet, faster than the 9.3x62. You can look it up on the intraweb, even!:p

:HR:

You just have to cycle the action. They are not up to par with an F/N 98 or a Husqvarna 1640. The ruger is just a wanna be. And not a very good one.

Yes, and if you paid attention to history, you would understand that we already know that NEW KING performance will work very well- Since it is similar to H&H performance. This isn't rocket surgery...:p

Bevan King told me that he retired from custom gunsmithing but he was nice enough to make me a 9,3x62 barrel,as he was making one for himself,anyway.
I don't think that no elk will be able to tell the difference whether he is hit by the 9,3mm,338 oder 375's.
I have the 9,3x62 and the 9,3x64 and i would not trade these calibers for any other,but i am slightly biased.
Bits of pieces would be my choice to get a 9,3mm barrel.

He doesn't have any real knowledge, he just makes stuff up. It's clear if you read his criteria for judging a rifle, below:

You just have to cycle the action. They are not up to par with an F/N 98 or a Husqvarna 1640. The ruger is just a wanna be. And not a very good one.

"I can tell if a rifle is better or worse just by cycling the action":D

Most guys will actually look at the rifle, check for function, feeding, extraction, check to see it has a firing pin and maybe even do something crazy to judge it like SHOOT it, but not Win/64. He just cycles the action and that's all he needs to know.:rolleyes: :D

I think that most animals dont' know what they get hit with.:)

Nothing wrong with any you listed above, comes down to personal interest.;)

Not sure what you would know about "rocket surgery" But it may be the same as you know about quality rifles. Nothing....
 
Guess you didn't get it, eh? :)

Not surprised, actually.;)

I got it. You like inferior cartriges in inferior rifles with plywood stocks. Hey if it's not plywood it's plastic. ruger holy #### give me a break they can't even make a 22 work right.

Yeah, Macmillan plastic stocks suck. :D

More words of rifle wisdom from the guy that rates the quality of a rifle only by sliding a bolt back and forth a few times.:p
