Of the solid bullet designs, the round nose solids are gradually being superseded by flat or concave tip bullets capable of producing some measure of hydraulic force. 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). Those who wish to push the envelope and shoot further need to understand that this bullet can produce very poor performance at long ranges, depending on shot placement and target resistance.

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. Unfortunately, while these authors may well have had successful results, such information tends to create unrealistic expectations and overconfidence in this projectile design. Following the introduction of the .375 Ruger, many shooters expected a whole family of Ruger magnum cartridges but these never eventuated, perhaps due to the fact that the Ruger magazine was still not all that well suited to the now very long Hornady bullets. It came as no surprise that the first was a safari-style rifle. Unlike Winchester Short Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Compact Magnums share the same diameter from case head to body. Alternatively, look to the .375 RUM, the .378 Weatherby or the even larger .375 Chey Tac. Both rifles had the new iron sights, and I like them very much; they are far superior to the "mostly for looks" folding leaves long supplied. 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. The case measures .532 inches at the base and .515 inches at the shouldergiving a larger body diameter than the H&H designand is equipped with a 30-degree shoulder for positive headspacing. This bullet can be driven fast (though the 1:12 twist rate can limit accuracy above 2950fps), or utilized as a mild load using reloading book data for the 300 grain bullet weight resulting in muzzle velocities of around 2600fps. The Ruger, has both a rim and base diameter of .534", making the body somewhat narrower than the former cartridges, yet still much wider than the .375 H&H. To put either animal down on the spot requires both a tough bullet and careful shot placement. Looking at the case volume, in spite of being .270 inches shorter than the .375 H&H Magnum, the .375 Ruger actually has a greater volume; about 4 percent, depending on case brand.

Unfortunately, this puts the blast near the shooter, more so from the 20 barreled rifle. 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. Both are go-to bullet designs for game weighing around 600kg (1300) but, like the TSX, are best used at very close ranges where energy is high. The .375 Ruger (9.565.5mm) is a rimless, standard-length rifle cartridge designed for the hunting of large, dangerous game.

The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. Any human or rifle error will invariably result in slow killing. A heavy bullet can afford to shed some weight and mass (energy transfer) as a means to promote trauma. This was a walnut-stocked rifle, 23-inch barrel, good iron sights. The velocity bonus is significant because it provides considerably more energy, slightly flattens trajectory and, from a pure marketing standpoint, places the .375 Ruger very close to the .375 Weatherby Magnum and .375 Remington Ultra Magnum in performance.

This now discontinued Marinecoat and laminated stocked Patriot in .375 Ruger was the ideal rifle for coastal bear hunting on Vancouver Island. I do not know his reload recipe other than he used Winchester powder. 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. It is both forgiving and can be more humane than the small bores in bush hunting situations as poor shots taken with the .375 generally slow game down fast, allowing quick follow up shots. 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. 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. 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.

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).
