Well I did it, I managed to work through all 20 pages of this crap. Tell ya what guys, it's the bullet's construction combined with it's velocity that kills game. The cartridge case has little relevance to the end result provided it holds enough powder to drive the bullet fast enough for the application at hand. The .375 Ruger in a magnum length CZ action might be a mistake. The CZ won't be is as handy under tough conditions as the Ruger Alaskan. Besides, I am not as comfortable with the idea of a short cartridge in a magnum length action as I was before Pounder had a factory .458 round go off in his 602's magazine. Since then he has had the rifle repaired and rechambered to .458 Lott. So in my opinion, the CZ is better chambered with a long cartridge. Loaded with quality 260-270 gr bullets, the Ruger Alaskan is tough to beat for North American applications and has proven to be flat shooting and versatile. The Ruger's advantage however diminishes with an increase in bullet weight, and if you prfer to use bullets in excess of 300 grs you are better off with a longer cartridge.
