Ruger Alaskan originally came with 20" barrel in .375 Ruger - Hogue overmolded stock - great safari rifle.

The .375 H&H (and other cartridges of the time) was long and tapered for a good reason. They were loaded with cordite, which was very temperature-sensitive. The long tapered case aided in easy extraction.

Ruger used to make magnum-length actions and 375HH rifles on M77 Mk2 era, they're massive Safari and Alaska guns. The 375 Ruger fits in the .30-06 length action of the updated M77 Hawkeye series. There's still on lot of Mk2 rifles available in the used market. Like all the Ruger No.1s floating about.

375 Ruger is definitely one of the top do it all cartridges ever!! I’ve been in love with it since it came out.. Sadly, my first Rifle I built using a 375 Ruger action on a HS Precision stock was stolen while I was over seas. Now I just finished my second build only its the Savage brush hunter barreled action on an Oryx chassis with a witt machine directional break!! The best part is Lehigh defense offers 185gr, 270gr. Barnes, Hornady, Nosler offer 235,250,260,270, 300, and 350gr options! Now some fun research will show you ballistically the lighter 375 Ruger loads shoot as flat and even flatter than many of what folks consider to be “long range” cartridges.

Don't forget the 9.3 x 62 which is VERY popular in both Europe and Africa and compares well with the .375.

the post talk was actually pretty cool! good job capturing that!!!👍😃

Love the 375 calibers. Especially in the RUM. Very effective on large game here in Alaska.

The M77 Hawkeye African in .375 is not bad on recoil at all. I was really surprised at how mild it was. I guess the radial brake on it works really well.

Was mentioned but a bit more could have been said of the off spring. The 300 RCM Ruger Conpact Magnum works well in shorter barrels and standard action. The 6.5 PRC designed for and works well with longer bullets and in short action. The 300 PRC also for longer bullets. I have all four. It should always be mentioned the PRCs and some other newer cartridge designs include a longer throat for the longer bullets. I have found getting lighter shorter bullets to perform well in those difficult.

I have the savagearms bear hunter in 375 ruger . Fine gun ,l oad development is still ongoing 250,270,300 grain bullets all have been accurate . For a gun of the shelf under ik. I topped it off with a 1x4 x28 nikon monarch. The muzzle break tames it quite nicely. Almost 1/4 min of angle, Thanks Savage employee's.

The Savage 110 Bear Hunter in .375 Ruger weighs like 8.4lbs, but is meant for a scope. So until you get the round loaded, scope and rings and a sling, you'd probably be at 9lbs or so. Still lighter than the H&H rifles but heavy enough to cut some of the recoil. It also has a removable brake.

So, 375 Ruger came along. researched it , watched it. then the Patriot came along, watched it (reviews) , then Sportsmansguide was selling it for about 315! Got it!. Already had reviewed reloading data for reduced loads!. Before the rifle showed up I already accumulated the brass, bullets, powder and Dies. 235 Grain at 2000 MV. Deer, pig, etc. Went to range with Superformance 250 GMX and the reloads. There were two older gentlemen there that I knew who are in the 70's, then there are myself and my buddy. Superformance first. I think I did the calculation at 54 LBS recoil. 7.75 lb rifle? scoped. 6.4 bare rifle. I pull off the first shot, could not stop laughing and exclaiming "THATS IT??" My buddy shot, same response. I then offered the rifle to the two guys who of course "no way' . I explained just roll with it, you are not in a tactical situation where you are leaning into the rifle to maintain target acquisition, just roll with it , relax. I let those two guys shoot four rounds at 3 buck a shot because they were having so much fun. Range time. 100 yards off sandbags, with a ....drumroll,,, barska scope on it. Only one I had at the time that weighed over a pound; to add weight to the rifle. Factory load, sub moa, reloads hit same point of impact as the factory GMX, best three round group 1/2 inch .

Hey Vortex nation podcast I was wondering you guys thoughts.. I have been thinking about getting a 375 Ruger in Ruger m77 African and also a 300 win mag in Hawkeye hunter. I was wanting to know the recoil difference. I know 375 kicks much more but how much? Thanks vortex nation podcast.

I know this video is 3 years old now, but have you looked at 375h&h rifles lately? The only ones you can find now cost from 3000$ to 30,000$

My 375 Ruger weighed around 7 lbs and kicked so hard it would turn your arm purple so I added weight brought it up to 10 lbs and haven’t shot it since. It has a lot more recoil than the H&H .

My Sako 85 375H&H weights 7.5 lbs. How much lighter does a gun need to be to warrant the 375 ruger?

35 Whelen, the poor mans magnum.

What would encourage you to choose this over the 416 Ruger? Or would you choose the 416 instead? Or is it circumstantial? Or perhaps inconsequential?

With modern case design and powders do you think it is better to go with a 6.5prc instead of a 7mm rem mag a lower 48 deep, antelope, sheep, black bear, and elk but mainly deer rifle from 0-500 yards?

Go 7mag all day! You will be able to find multiple different types of factory ammunition in most hardware stores and walmart's everywhere. Plus the sectional density is better on the 7mm and if you reload, bullet selection is larger. You will never make a shot with a 7mag and wish you had any 6.5mm.....jmo

I owned a 375 Ruger in a savage platform with 20" barrel. Recoil was snappy but manageable. Certainly better than my 458 Lott in a heavier gun. Based on reaction of dirt pile alone as backstop that Ruger hits hard. Really hard. It would shoot dirt 20' into the air with max loads of H4350 and a 300 DGS.

I bought a Mossberg Patriot Ceracoated abolt in .375 Ruger. I like it because I can load down at 200 gr. with all copper bullets for deer/black bear size and then can go up to the big 300 dgs. It does hurt in the dgs line though. lol

Awesome! 270 Win. Would be great.

I have a very light Mossberg Patriot in .375 Ruger. It’s a beast. I don’t know if mine would be considered a 600 yard gun, more like maybe 300. The accuracy just isn’t there to push mine further. If one would choose the .375 Ruger or H&H I would suggest using very good rings and not cheap rings. I tried a companies certain cheap rings and the scope kept sliding inside the rings.

When I hear people praise the .30-06 Springfield as the '...father of so many cartridges' I want to point out the 8x57mm gewehr 1888 commission rifle cartridge. (No, it was not designed by Paul Mauser, but he knew a good thing when seen.) That cartridge sired the .30-06 Springfield, which in turn sired a bunch of cartridges including the 7.62x51mm NATO round which sired even more rounds. The .375 H&H is primarily an African use cartridge as there isn't much game in the Americas that require such a massive round. Perhaps some of the really large bears that will eat one if not prudent. I have a Ruger 77 Hawkeye in .375 Ruger. I have done a grand total of ten reloads (all solids) and I have a box of factory ammo but I haven't taken it out and shot it yet. I will use a standing rest, as opposed to a bench rest. And I just don't like belted cases.

Another issue. The .375H&H feeds in a Mauser claw extraction action liked greased damned lightning. It is smooth as BUTTER!!!! The Ruger doesn’t even come near the feeding of a well conditioned Mauser in the Holland. Not anywhere near! The Ruger gets you about 150 to maybe 200 FPS longer. However of my 8 trips hunting over on Safari not a single shot taken was more than 180 yards. and I could have easily closed that distance but decided to take a further shot as to not disrupt another Hunter. The additional benefit you didn’t mention is that there is a well known truth that the .30-06 in 180 grain and the .375H&H in 300 have the exact same bullet trajectory. I am. It kidding. They are almost to the inch the same. If you pointed them side by side they would hit almost in sync. It’s that close!!!!!!!

According to Chuck Hawk‘s recoil table, a 375 Ruger weighing 8 ounces less, recoils 27% more than a 375 H&H, shooting a 300 grain projectile at 20 ft./s faster. This is why the 375 Ruger, along with availability of ammunition, is dead on the vine. There is absolutely no advantage to using this caliber, especially since there is only one rifle chambered for this round. Get yourself an M70 Winchester in 375 H&H. End of story.
