375 Ruger

I have a 375 ruger and think it's a great cartridge , curious to see where it's at in another 10yrs though as far as ammo and brass availability .seems the 416 ruger has all but disappeared ..
 
Yes all the answers (opinions) have been given over and over which is why when one isn't a fanboy follower the same questions keep coming up.

Comes down to one has a slightly shorter non-belted case the other is belted and has a longer case both kill exactly the same so choose you're poison.

Me I prefer a slightly longer fatter non-belted case 375RUM that does at 500 yards what your's does at 350 yards...

Nope I'm not dissing the H&H or the Ruger both are fantastic cartridges its just for me the RUM is the answer.

416's are always going to be limited in popularity and the Ruger is no exception.

But the sales of 375 Ruger rifles have been so strong in both North America and Africa that there will always be a demand for ammunition, so the companies will keep making it, and probably more will join in. Currently at leeast 3 ammunition manufacturers are making 375 Ruger ammo.

Probably play with some loads in the 77.8-79.4gr range, then hopefully smash a bear or two with it
 
a question for the 375 fans that reload. how do you work with the 375 ruger basic brass ... the one not ready to go for 375 ruger ...?
You don't. You just buy the formed ones. I'm surprise that Hornady went to the trouble of selling the basic brass for the consumers, there can't be that much of a demand!?

I have 375 Rum. For me it does everything the 378 Wea does, with less blast, non proprietary rifles, and more available brass. Now brass and ammo isn't available at Walmart; however, it's comparable to H & H, or Ruger. One of the above posts mentions 416 Ruger having all but disappeared. All the.various Rum Calibers should guarantee a supply of components for years. The Rum's are about 10 years older than the Ruger, will the Ruger still be doing as well as the RUM's in 10 years?

Hard to say; however, two things are apparent. Firstly, the Wea, Rum, and especially the H&H will still be there. Secondly, no large bore magnum.....just to pick a.number...say over .338 will ever be a.huge seller like say 30-06 or 308. Which caliber goes, I don't know. I now have a.good supply of RUM brass, my bet is the.H&H will still be going strong.

lol yeah the 375 Wby, 378 Wby and 375 RUM are still here. Dead as can be. 375 Wby has two offerings from Weatherby (all push feed of course), ranging from $5000 to $9600CDN. 378 Wby 3 models from $3600CDN to $9600CDN

375 RUM. I check on Remington's website says - No Results Found.


 
I've had most of the 375's with the exception of the 375 win.. I do think the 375 rum was my fav.. can run from 375H&H velocity up to near what the 378 will produce but it seems all but dead now. For an all around package that is compact and can produce in a short barrel the 375 Ruger is a top contender . Hard to argue with a 300gr @2600fps in a 20" tube.i have not played much with lighter bullets in the ruger but it should push them to good velocity

Will the 375 Ruger be doing "as well" as the 375 RUM in 10 years? Funny! The Ruger completely outpaced the 375 RUM, years ago. There was even a poll on who owns what .375 here on CGn a few years back and the RUM was barely on the map.

Even REMINGTON doesn't offer 375 RUM rifles for sale anymore. maybe through their custom shop? Meanwhile about 6-8 gun makers are making .375 Ruger rifles. The 375 RUM was a complete failure. It's not a bad cartridge, of course, but the problem is few people actually bought them.

So what's going to "be there" in the future? Obviously the H&H, although new rifle sales in .375 caliber will ultimately be dominated by the Ruger. 378WBY will keep churning along in a minor role as long as WBY stays in business, which should be a very long time. The RUM? Well at least the .300 RUM sold reasonably well (although not even close to the 300WM or 300WSM level) so 375 RUM owners can probably get brass to neck up. Success of the Ruger is guaranteed though. Mostly because the approach to new cartridge/rifle introduction by Ruger/Hornady was completely opposite of what Remington did with the 375 RUM.

A comparison could be made between the 375 H&H and the 30-06- old cartridges that are still popular because they both work well. So they remain popular. However, nobody has come up with an actual replacement to the 30-06 that has been a commercial success. Sure, the .308 does most of what the 30-06 does, (but not everything) and all the 300 magnums offer higher velocity, but no cartridge has come up with that great balance that is the 30-06. However, the 375 Ruger HAS done just that in regards to the H&H, and the cartridge is packaged in a variety of rifles that let anyone that has a job and wants a .375 to own one.

Look what happened to the .300H&H when the 300 WM showed up. Same thing is happening to the .375 H&H now that the 375 Ruger is here.

Holy cow! Remington can't keep up with demand for .375 Ultra brass! Good thing I boughts lots of it while it was cheap and readily available. Can't be much demand for .375 Ruger stuff if its so easy to get.;)
 
I have to LOL every time I read the fanboy spewings against the RUM or Wby just tells me they can't handle recoil...

I have enough new brass for my 300RUM and 375RUM on the shelf to last me for the rest of mine and my son's lives.
