Bothy the 450 Noveske and the 375WSM were both used on grizz with absolutely no problems.I think a .375 might get used against big scratchy things, so I choose foolproof over wildcat...
Don't let a wildcat hold ya back from putting one together!

I'm sure they have, but I really am not a fan of 99.9% of wildcats- There is a factory cartridge that will do just about anything. I don't even like AI cartridges much, either...Thankfully, the .375 Ruger came out just before I was going to have a .375 AI/Weatherby built.
Hmm, but a 375 Ruger is a step DOWN from a 375 Wby/AI (the Wby isn't even a wildcat actually, I have factory brass for one). One would assume if you wish to keep large furry creatures from snacking on your ass, that you would choose the better option. - dan

No,the Wby isn't really a Wildcat, but I don't know if anyone is chambering rifles for that cartridge these days.
A shame, really, since it's probably a better cartridge for 99% of the hunters than it's replacement,t he 378 Wby.Using equal barrel lengths, I think the Ruger and Wby would run neck and neck for velocity. You would have to step up to the .375 RUM to get any real gain in velocity.

What year did the 375 Wby come out? IIRC the 378 Wby came out in 1953.
