The .375 Ruger has gone on to raise quite the family, including the .416 Ruger, the .300 and .338 Ruger Compact Magnums, and the 6.5 PRC and .300 PRC. That said, the wounding potential of any solid bullet design is always less than that of an expanding bullet. Loaded to 3000fps the 250 grain Sierra (BC .371) breaks its 1800fps limit at around 520 yards. Additionally, the .375 Ruger yields around 6% greater case capacity than the .375 H&H. The Hornady Superformance ammunition drives a 270-grain (17g) SP-RP bullet at 2,840ft/s (870m/s) and the 300-grain (19g) DGS and DGX bullets at 2,660ft/s (810m/s). firemedic: While the 35 Whelen is adequate my Ruger Alaskan 416 Ruger is MORE "more than enough". 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. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles. Both feature near double thickness jackets compared to the smaller bore Sierra bullets and both feature tougher cores. The author's left-hand Ruger M77 Mk II in .375 Ruger groups very acceptably with the 270-grain Hornady Interlock. Of the solid bullet designs, the round nose solids are gradually being superseded by flat or concave tip bullets capable of producing some measure of hydraulic force. The .375 Ruger was designed to replace the much older .375 H&H, something it failed to do, largely because of the legendary appeal of the H&H due to its time in Africa. Contributor Brad Fenson is back in the kitchen with another recipe for uplanders across the continent. If using a lighter bullet we need to think about increasing retained weight after impact and using velocity to (hydraulic force) to promote trauma. Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. Even with protection, by standers can receive a hefty blast. . Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger discontinued? Anything anybody thought they needed in a .375 cartridge was done by Roy Weatherby, not once but twice (.375 and .378 Weatherby Magnums)--and again by Remington in 2000 with the .375 RUM. Readers are advised to experiment utilizing this as a part of a dual load (premium bullet for close ranges / Speer BTSP out long) when tackling large body weights. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532in (13.5mm), which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. As an aside, this is a very good bullet weight with regards to the actual construction of this bullet. To aim behind the shoulder simply underutilizes these bullet designs - a bonded soft point bullet would have been entirely adequate for this. Most of the time a bull hit in this manner will take three or four steps forward to regain his balance, then he'll whirl and run the almost obligatory 50 or 60 yards of a buffalo hit perfectly in the chest. Tho with good case prep, Hornady brass will bring very good accuracy. On plains game the .375 Ruger continued its spectacular performance, but that should also not be a surprise. On the subject of high velocity, a hot .375 will produce rather stout recoil. Instead, I simply see them as being more useful on game weighing around or more than 450kg (1000lb) where angling shots are expected or where there is a chance of having to tackle animals of exceptional size for their species. Wounding is severe however if used in this manner. Readers are however advised to take note of the muzzle brakes on the current .375 Ruger rifles. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how very useful this (and other .375 kin including the H&H) can be in this manner. Full production did occur until later in 2007. Out of stock. If this projectile is to be used for killing the meplat must be modified. There are certainly many rave reviews of this projectile to be found in gun rag write ups and online articles. The new Hornady 300 grain bonded DGX should (there is that doesnt actually know for sure should again) prove equally effective. But in cases where the design of the rifle simply produces intolerable recoil (as many do), one may simply have to lose 100fps or utilize a brake. The only special feature--and it's a good one--is that these rifles have a very good and sturdy fixed-blade rear sight with a 3/32-inch front bead on a barrelband ramp. All of these subjects (including Ruger accurizing) are covered in great detail within my book series. The .338 Ruger Compact Magnum or .338 RCM is a rimless, short-length rifle cartridge based on the .375 Ruger case. The .375 Ruger cartridge case was used by Hornady as the basis for a new extra-long-range cartridge, since it had the capability to operate with high chamber pressures, which combined with a neck and barrel throat optimized for loading relatively long and heavy .308 diameter very-low-drag bullets without the need to seat the bullets deeply recessed into the case result in adequate muzzle velocities from magnum-sized bolt-action rifles. The WSM's and RCM's seem to have fallen behind. Between 2400 and 2200fps the TSX produces clean but delayed kills. It was designed to fit and function in the many "standard length" bolt-actions that work with cartridges like the 7mm Remington and .300/,338 Winchesters Magnums. 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. From a muzzle velocity of 2950fps the Sierra kills with style out to ranges of around 170 yards (2200fps), thereafter producing clean but sometimes delayed kills out to 270 yards (1800fps). Having said this, small differences in bore tolerances within individual rifles can lead to a wider range of velocities. The .375 Dakota is based on the .404 Jeffrey case and is beltless with a 0.545" rim diameter. We put nearly eight miles on our boots working a herd. The cartridge was designed in partnership, by Hornady and Ruger. It is for these reasons that as much as I like the Swift and Woodleigh medium weight bullets, I do not see them as being ideal for heavy game. Unfortunately, this is something that comes more naturally with time and experience. The newer .375 Ruger is beltless and intrinsically more accurate. The more streamlined the bullet the lower the energy transfer. As most of you know by now, obtaining smooth feeding can be problematic with our new short, fat magnums, but this does not seem to be a problem with this cartridge, at least not in the Ruger M77 with .30-06-length action. All Rights Reserved. Those who wish to hunt light framed game at bush / woods ranges or in semi open country, where shots are not long, may wish to consider using the 200 Grain Sierra flat point bullet (BC .200) designed for the .375 Winchester. In my experience the larger the animal, the more we need to get up to or above 300 grains bullet weight simply for the sake of energy. The 270 grain Speer BTSP is a soft bullet designed for large thin-skinned game. [6][7] In 2019 it got C.I.P.-standardized as the 300 PRC. Kimber's Hunter Pro Desolve Blak takes the firm's more affordable mountain rifle to new heights. Hornady loads their 250gr GMX, 270gr SP-RP, and 300gr DGX/DGS bullets to advertised velocities of 2,900fps, 2,840fps, and 2,660fps respectively (using a 24 barrel). On light through to medium game the .375 Ruger produces fast emphatic kills along with wide free bleeding exit wounds when used at close to moderate ranges. Like the .376 Steyr that originates from the 9.364mm Brenneke and the .375 Dakota proprietary cartridge that originates from the .404 Jeffery, the .375 Ruger was designed to compete with the .375 H&H Magnum, yet have the advantage of having a rimless, beltless case and can function through a standard-length bolt-action rifle due to a shorter overall length. Having said this, the DGS is in no way the same as a bullet which has been specifically designed for maximum hydraulic trauma. The .375 Ruger's slightly greater case capacity, and the "short fat" cartridge efficiency lead to increases in the neighborhood of 150 fps over the H&H cartridge. So what should that alone tell you. The Woodleigh handles raking shots relatively well but is prone to lose a great deal of its sectional density if used to take Texas heart shots at close ranges. Although very large, his cunning friend hiding in the vegetation behind him weighs around 900kg (1980lb). This projectile is most useful where lower impact velocities are to be expected or where game weights are between 300 and 600kg (660 to 1300lb), though 600kg should be considered the upper limit. The 375 H&H and 375 Ruger probably contributed somewhat to the sales decline of new Remy 375 RUMs. This force is nothing more than the acceleration of water away from the path of the bullet, hopefully leading to a wound channel larger than the bullet diameter. Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented, and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. In my own experience when shoulder shooting bovines the .375 bore works best when using the toughest of bullets at impact velocities well above 2600fps. It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." But, it eventually rose to the top, and not just among African hunters. Both of the Gameking bullets are designed to be used in an all-round manner (close and extended ranges). Rather, I think the case design is extremely clever from a manufacturer's standpoint because you have a bigger, fatter case that will not only fit existing bolt faces (as do rebated rims) but also feed well from existing magazine boxes. Ken had a .375 Ruger in the classic M77 walnut stock, still a prototype but exactly the way this version will be marketed. 6.5 PRC vs 6.5 RPM What You Need to Know, Remington .50-70 Rolling Block History: New York's Pick to Arm Its National Guard, 7 Top .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) Rifles. Wayne had one in the Jim Hogue synthetic, the only difference from the version that will hit the market being that his still wore a 23-inch barrel rather than the 20-inch tube that will appear on the production model. The Dakota, Ruger and Nosler cartridges are essentially wider versions of the basic 2.5 belted magnums (.264 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, .338 Win Mag). The .375 Ruger is a rimless cartridge often used for hunting large and dangerous game. Certainly, they were good enough to go hunting with, and that's exactly what we did. If I was forced to chooseand thank Heaven that I am notjust one bore diameter to cover the entire range of the worlds big game, it would have to be the .375-inch bore diameter. The .375 Ruger also labors under giant velocity spikes between one shot to another with Hornady ammo, sometimes in excess of 150 FPS. That or seek a superior stock design. Made to work in Ruger actions, which couldn't fit full-length magnum cartridges. Of course..Not gonna go anywhere.Many rifle makers offer the round. Tail on shots should be limited to game under 80kg, however on larger game tail on wounds created by the Interlock are often severe enough to allow follow up shots. .375 Ruger Loads At this time, Hornady and DoubleTap are the only two manufacturers that produce factory loaded .375 Ruger ammunition. Do the iron sights hit poi with 260/270gr.bullets ? The Alaskan rifle featured a Hogue plastic stock and 20 barrel, again with open sights. But in the case of Solids, the bullet maker is focused on deep, straight line penetration on very heavy game. Hornady currently produce four Superformance loads for the .375 Ruger: the 250 grain GMX (homogenous copper bullet) at 2900fps, the 270 grain SP-RP Interlock at 2840fps, the 300 grain Dangerous Game Expanding (DGX) at 2660fps and the 300 grain steel jacketed Dangerous Game Solid (DGS) also at 2660fps. The Woodleigh is a fast killer of light framed game at bush / woods ranges but is somewhat underutilized in this role. The company is introducing the .375 Ruger in two configurations under the M77 "Hawkeye" name: a wooden-stock, 23-inch-barrel model called the M77 Hawkeye "African" and a Jim Hogue synthetic-stock, 20-inch-barrel version, which will be known as the "Alaskan.". The engineers at Hornady and Ruger teamed up in 2007 to produce a cartridge case with no parent; the .375 Ruger is a unique design. On heavy dangerous game many experienced hunters would agree that the .375 caliber is adequate but less forgiving than calibers above .400 if shot placement is not exact. This now discontinued Marinecoat and laminated stocked Patriot in .375 Ruger was the ideal rifle for coastal bear hunting on Vancouver Island. Those hunting the wilds of India, Australia, Canada and the United States all were well-served by the .375 H&H. Sep 21, 2015. 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). In any case, leave it to the reader to experiment and decide which methods and materials prove best for his or her individual situation. The efficiency of the cartridge actually yields a dual bonus. This is no surprise; accuracy in any factory rifle is going to vary, and I saw the normal variance from good enough to very, very good. Beyond 280 yards, shot placement is extremely important (forwards shoulder) to help ensure full expansion, the Partition reaching the end of the line at 1800fps or around 360 yards. New CZ, Ruger Hawkeye, Remington, Savage, and some other moderate cost dangerous game rifles can be purchased for less than $1,000. The faster it can be driven the better its performance as a lighter medium game bullet, utilizing impact velocity to increase target resistance and therefore help overcome its bonding. This is best employed at very close ranges in order to keep its impact velocity well above 2600fps. Nevertheless, this economical projectile design was acceptable for hunting game weighing up to 600kg (1300lb). The author and professional hunter J.P. Kleinhans with a good waterbuck, dropped in its tracks with a frontal shot with a 270-grain Hornady InterLock. The stainless steel and plastic stock is very weather resistant If just for bear protection I remove the scope and screw on a NECG receiver sight directly to the scope bases machined into the Ruger receiver. The 300 grain DGX was, up until October 2017, a basic cup and core bullet but utilized a steel jacket with copper guiding. Strong, simple, compact falling-block breech mechanism with artillery-style breechblock and under-lever is ideally suited for today's powerful cartridges. Mossberg & Sons", SAAMI Drawing 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), "It's Official SAAMI Approves Hornady 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC", "C.I.P. It was designed by brothers James Tow and Keith Tow of Halsey, Oregon, to provide comparable performance to traditional African stopping rifles from the context of the Magnum Research BFR revolvers. Heres how to avoid the poseurs and choose the right one. The names are often meaningless. Mossberg & Sons produced bolt-action rifles of the "Patriot" series chambered in .375 Ruger with different stock options. With the 375R necked down to 9.3, the 9.3x62 and the 9.3 Brenneke would pale in a comparison of performance. of muzzle energy is where the .375 Ruger shines as dangerous game cartridge. Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan Hawkeye Matte Bolt Action Rifle -. This bullet differs quite simply in that it does not have any exposed lead at the bullet tip, similar to the Remington CoreLokt. Love what you do and do it well. Quite a recoiling beast that most people simply cannot handle. As a researcher, I tend to look for the poleax effect as this subject interests me as a matter of research. - 24hourcampfire Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Hop To Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 BP-B2 IC B2 IC B3 Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 CTV Who's Online Now 776 members ( 1936M71, 10gaugemag, 222ND, 12344mag, 10ring1, 91 invisible), 1,932 guests, and 1,289 robots. This is a very economical bullet for hunting heavy game. 375 Ruger 250 gr. Looking for previous installments of our "Behind the Bullet" series? MFG #: 57047. Ken, Steve and Wayne could handle it. If the hunter can visualize both the point of the shoulder and forwards portion of the lungs and work the angles according to the situation this will increase the ability of the bullet (any bullet) to produce a fast kill. From a very mild muzzle velocity of 2750fps, its soft front core ensures full energy transfer out to a range of around 200 yards or 2200fps. Forums Member List Calendar Active Threads: Previous Thread: Next Thread : Print Thread: Hop To : Page 1 of 3 : 1: 2: 3: Mossberg Patriot in 375 Ruger discontinued? Any petals lost during penetration can be treated as being acceptable under the conditions. Listed as discontinued. Except that the engineers didn't factor in the bonus delivered by the shorter, fatter case. We checked zero on the runway--hardly a perfect range setup, but it had seemed to me that Steve Hornady's .375 Ruger shot very well, and it seemed to me that both of these did also. Of the premium middle weight projectiles there are several which can be put to use in the .375 Ruger to good effect. The case ends at 21?2 inches--.30 inch shorter than the .375 H&H--but since it's a bit fatter and has no taper before the shoulder, it slightly exceeds the .375 H&H in powder capacity. [8] The 300 PRC cartridge case capacity is 6.2ml (95.5 grains) H2O. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in standard-length bolt-action rifles,[2] the case length was kept to 2.580in (65.5mm), which is only .04in (1.0mm) longer than the .270 Winchester case. This allowed Ruger to chamber the cartridge in their existing standard length M77 rifle, without needing to use their M77 Safari Magnum Rifle. The goal of the engineers was not to exceed .375 H&H performance but simply to equal it in a cartridge that would fit in a standard-length (.30-06-length) action and fit existing belted magnum bolt faces. In early September Hornady's Wayne Holt and Ruger's Ken Jorgensen joined me at outfitter J.P. Kleinhans' camp in coastal Mozambique to film a segment for our Petersen's Hunting Adventures TV show. Apart from these factors a 250 grain .375 homogenous copper bullet can prove to be the more emphatic killer when used in either the .375 H&H or Ruger. Only problem is that you are limited to only Hornady brass. Hornady is the predominant source of ammunition for the .375 Ruger, and they offer a quartet of loads, making the cartridge suitable for nearly any hunting situation. For more information on this subject please read The Practical Guide To Long Range Hunting Cartridges. All RifleShooter subscribers now have digital access to their magazine content. Read on for his take on this Thai-inspired fusion dish. Bottles & 12-oz. By the same token wind drift is a major concern and to this end, the 2600fps load really is best used at close ranges. Great on big Russian Boar with their protective shield! The Outfitter load features a 250-grain GMX (a lead-free choice), at a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps and will give a trajectory much like a .308 Winchester with a 180-grain bullet; with a 200-yard zero, itll strike eight inches low at 300 yards and 23 inches low at 400 yards. Introduced in 1965 with the .444 Marlin cartridge, the Model 444 was the most powerful lever action of its day. The compact case is extremely well suited to a very wide range of rifle actions. Hornady 's new Superformance loads produce a bit more velocity, and the rifle refinements made by Hill Country Rifle make it more accurate and user-friendly. The steel of the Alaskan was chrome moly rather than stainless steel as one might expect on an all weather rifle. By the same token, be wary of high weight retention projectiles that supposedly dump vast amounts of energy yet then defy physics by maintaining their form and weight. While not earth shattering on its own, the wide and compact case is more efficient than the Holland & Holland which enables the Ruger to obtain similar results from a short 20 barrel while a 23 barreled Ruger boasts higher velocities than a 25 barreled H&H. A person can end up with a very good rifle at fairly modest cost. This projectile is in essence designed to be used for taking CNS shots on the heaviest of game. But when hunting heavy game it is best to get very close. "If you could only have one rifle worldwide, the .375 Ruger would be my choice.". It is also worth noting that Hornadys Superformance loads for the .375 H&H almost duplicate the .375 Ruger loadings, though without the same level of efficiency. The shorter barrel and shorter action makes for a rifle that's smaller and easier to maneuver in tight brush. Accuracy in this particular left-hand rifle is good, but in my opinion it's not as good as Steve Hornady's rifle was. 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. This animal, too, folded to a frontal shot with the 270-grain Interlock. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. One simply cannot overlook these factors. The company's new Hawkeye--essentially a Model 77 with a more slender profile and better handling qualities--became the platform for a Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. Rifles chambered for the 300 PRC must be capable of handling 3.70in (93.98mm) overall length cartridges.[9][10]. Is it significant that it fits in a .30-06-length action? 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. For those of us who love potent cartridges one of the ongoing bug bears of the M77 Ruger long action has been its rather short magazine (87mm / 3.425). On another afternoon I used Wayne's rifle to take a lovely waterbuck. He did. To say that performance was spectacular is an understatement. The goal was to create a shorter cartridge than the big .338 magnums that would fit in a more compact rifle with nearly the same performance. Talkeetna 375 H&H is a magnum length, 375 Ruger and most of it's offspring fit in 30'06 length actions. I certainly hope it is here to stay. Between 2200 and 1800fps shot placement is the key on lean game. Too many times I hear of a hunter stating that his gun only groups 3 MOA but this should be fine for very large animals. Can Coolers | An Official Journal Of The NRA, Find More Great NRA Publications Perfect For Every Interest, Discover Everything That The NRA Has To Offer. 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). Ken and J.P. had already put on the brakes and put up the shooting sticks, so when the bull faced them Ken gave him a perfect frontal shot with a 270-grain Interlock. At impact velocities of 2600fps or slower neither can be called emphatic. This allows the cartridge to have a greater case capacity than a belted magnum case given cases of equal length. It is worth noting that some rifles can exceed the averages listed here by up to or more than 100fps. It was designed to use the same 1:12-inch twist rate of the .375 H&H Magnum barrels, the neck length of .305 inches, while shorter than one-caliber in length, has not posed an issue in my experience. The 250 grain bullet works acceptably well on smaller deer species at close to moderate ranges but its true forte is on large bodied deer. It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. Since it is a rimless, unbelted case that doesn't "step down" in front of the belt, it is thus a . The tip of the DGS is flat to aid stability (prevent tumbling) during penetration but can also provide a small degree of hydraulic trauma during penetration. The Woodleigh and Swift 300 grain bullets are optimally suited to close range work on large heavy game, achieving a good balance of expansion versus penetration. And yes, the Sierra bullet can suffer very high weight loss at high impact velocities, but it kills well. .375 H&H Mag. Mossberg Patriot .375 Ruger JakeH Jun 7, 2018 1 2 Next JakeH AH enthusiast Joined Jul 22, 2017 Messages 405 Reaction score 522 Location North Carolina Media 2 Hunting reports Africa 1 Member of NRA Hunted USA Jun 7, 2018 #1 Does anybody here have any firsthand experience with the Mossberg Patriot in .375 Ruger? The new cartridge uses the same .532-inch rim diameter, but the belt is fatter and the body taper has slightly more case capacity even though, at 2 1/2 inches, it'. We got on that herd in late afternoon, with very little time for finesse. Based on the current.375 Ruger yields around 6 % greater case capacity than the.375 Loads.
