Okay, I've had it with this Ruger BS, I'm going to buy or build one and put it through it's paces with some GOOD reformed W-W 300 WM brass and some Horn brass and find out for myself what is REALLY up with this cartridge. Anybody got an African they'd like to sell?
.375 Ruger....

It's likely as good as any and my choice to not have one doesn't stem from the cartridge itself but from reasons I've previously stated. Whatever you do, I hope you don't change
the cut and colour of your hunting apparel.Did you see that Howa on the EE in 375 Ruger ?
Looks like an awesome deal, had me counting pennies ...
Because he was better at what he did then all others before him. much like the 375Ruger.
All nagging and joking aside. I hope you get a 375Ruger and run It threw its paces.

Speaking of pissy bears, here's another miserable cuss, a youngster we inadvertently walked up on. Note the little V in the rock, at which point she changed direction and came right for us. No hesitation whatsoever, focused right on us, lots of hissing, and an immediate stiff legged approach, it was fight or flight and she chose. The .375 was comforting that day. I probably should have shot the #####, as the ground was tricky and a retreat meant taking your eyes off her. As it turned out, she turned off, and we went our separate ways, but it was about as close as I'd let things get without shooting.
Wow, taking pictures would have been the last thing on my mind. Well done!

Thanks, but the congratulations properly goes to my wife, she's the photographer in the family, my job is just to make sure she gets home in one piece.

Obviously she has faith in the animal control officer.

Ya, mostly she has faith in me, except when we were in Africa . . . in Africa she wanted Sullivan out front.

I may 'possibly' get there one day but I first need a little assistence
from Lotto 649. A few years ago our Daughter & Son In Law from AB spent a month hunting there while we spoiled our Granddaughter. They had a good hunt and it definately looks interesting.

No belt removing needed. Simply fireform, the case walls expand to the OD of the belt.
Some cartridges require belts to be removed, like 9.3x64mm Brenneke from .338 WM. In that case you need a mini lathe or something of that sort to remove the belt.
Negative Buster95, you want to leave the belt as it centers the rear of the case in the chamber, perfectly. Also if your buyer doesn't come through PM me before relisting it, if you wouldn't mind.

You've got to be joking, Manson was a psychopath with a serious small man syndrome who was good at absolutely nothing........or for anything..........!!!!
I sure like the idea of the .375 Ruger, though the .375 H&H is first for me. Would like to see it chambered in a Winchester 70 Alaskan and compared to the same in the H&H.
Do all of the virtues of the Holland and Holland hold true with the Ruger? e.g. impeccable feeding and low pressure in hot climates?

The .375 Ruger has slightly more case capacity than the H&H, so when loaded to equal pressure it will spit out an equal weight bullet as a slightly faster speed.
Nothing feeds like an H&H, but the Ruger doesn't feed poor. It feeds like any other standard length cartridge. The rifle is the deciding factor here.
