Of the two the 270 grain bullet tends to strike the balance regarding velocity versus penetration. By using a very basic lead core bullet with a partially flat nose, the cartridge OAL is kept short and without cramping powder space, while at the same time ammunition will generally feed smoothly from a box magazine. The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game. If the rifle is to be used at long ranges then a longer rifle action such as the M700 will allow long bullets to be utilized within the magazine box.

SAAMI recommends a six-groove barrel having a bore of .366in (9.3mm) and a groove of .376in (9.6mm) with a groove width of .115in (2.9mm). It burns powder more efficiently, producing higher velocities in a shorter barrel. One of my clients showed up to hunt buffalo, sable plains game etc. Of the heavy weight premium bullets the 300 grain Nosler is the softest. The .375 H&H provides one of the world's greatest benchmarks for performance. Suggested sight settings and bullet paths.

While expansion may still be fully evident at 2200fps, hunters targeting heavy game would do well to consider 2400fps as a wise cut off point for wide wounding. The BC of this bullet is very low at .270, therefore, the faster it can be driven the better in order to ensure high impact velocities. My girlfriend, Donna (who is also left-handed), tried it and wasn't too sure about it. I must say that Steve did some very good work with this rifle and cartridge. But there are some animals which are just so large and tough that unless we were to use a Chey-Tac, or perhaps a .50 BMG, there is simply no way they are going to go straight down with ordinary body shots and there is no point chasing maximum velocities. Full production did occur until later in 2007. This bullet is at its best when used on large bodied game such as bear or moose at closer ranges (above 2200fps or inside 250 yards depending on muzzle velocity). Those who want the highest possible velocities may wish to adopt a custom rifle start with a generous barrel length (my own preference is 26 to keep the blast and noise forwards while taming recoil). My one concern with this bullet is the potential for over expansion and limited penetration when taking quartering on shots on potentially dangerous animals weighing above 450kg (1000lb) at close ranges. Though it wasnt the firstand it certainly isnt the lastthe .375 Holland & Holland Belted Magnum set the standard for not only the proper velocities, but the desired terminal ballistics for the .375-inch diameter. So what should that alone tell you. At impact velocities of 2600fps or slower neither can be called emphatic. These bullets work well when facing game weighing 700kg (1540lb) and above.

Similar to the design ideas for the WSM cartridge family, but somewhat narrower which will frequently allow one more cartridge in the rifle magazine than the WSM equivalent. It fits in a shorter, and therefore faster-to-reload and more rigid action. When hunting large thinned skinned game the Ruger can be used with great success out to ranges of around 500 yards.

In this instance, I waited a long time for smaller bull to quarter on so that I could take this photo for demonstration purposes.

During the course of nearly three weeks he took more than a dozen animals from impala to Cape buffalo in size with the .375 Ruger, and he managed to use all three of Hornady's loads for the new cartridge: 270-grain Interlock spirepoint, 300-grain InterBond roundnose and 300-grain FMJ roundnose. Recoil is considerable. The Alaskan rifle featured a Hogue plastic stock and 20 barrel, again with open sights.

Ruger have cut down the barrel lengths of their rifles so that they are not overly long (no longer than a regular 26 barreled magnum) or cumbersome when fitted with muzzle brakes. With regards to long range shooting the Sierra 350 grain match bullet may seem appealing for long range work but it is not designed for killing. In the Remington Ultra Magnum for example, the heavier weight and higher velocity can result in higher over all trauma or what we might call stopping power regardless of the misunderstandings within this subject. These velocities are recorded in a 24 test barrel and in sporting rifles, results have averaged out to show that the 23 African loses an unnoticeable 25fps while the 20 barreled Alaskan rifles lose on average 100fps (the typical 25fps/inch). Certainly, they were good enough to go hunting with, and that's exactly what we did.
