    We love the 375 H&H and Ruger bush thumper Photo thread!

    The only negative to the 375 Ruger and it is not really a negative to me, is the lack of brass for reloading. Factory ammo is very plentiful at around $90 a box. Buy it shoot it and you have brass formed to your rifle. We where in Safari Outdoor in J’Burg and they had the Hornady 300 grain DGX...

    Leupold CDS setting recommendations for a .375 H&H

    My 375 Ruger is loaded with 300 grain Barnes TSX @2550 fps. The Hornady load advertises 2660 from a 24” barrel. It shot at 2550 average out of my gun. Pretty big difference even with inch shorter barrel. I sighted in @75 yards. Ordered the CDS for it. Because it is a custom set up, chrono your...

    Traveling with ammo

    Just to add to this, my ammo and guns have always made it. I do make sure that if possible my guns and ammo are checked all the through. My buddy showed up late in Argentina, American Airlines did check his luggage all the way through. At his stop in Chile he had to recheck his shotgun. The...

    Traveling with ammo

    I see the reply pop up from time to time, only take this caliber in the event your ammo gets lost. Typically if your ammo doesn’t show up it means your suitcase / duffel bag or gun case didn’t make it. So let us hear about your experiences while traveling.

    270 LRX in 375 Ruger on game up to Buffalo

I still have plenty of room to go up in velocity if I need to. I also loaded some Sierra 270 grain with the H414 these where light...

    Another 375 Ruger thread

    Next up is practice on the life size Buffalo. I put it up in the living room. My wife walked in and asked my what I was doing, I told her putting up new wall paper. I received a roll of the eyes and the reply “ Seriously what are you doing?”. I replied getting ready to practice. I was told dry...
