    . 416 Ruger

    I want one to go with my. 375, but non are for sale. So I'm mainly interested in your load work. I've heard the .416 Ruger has to be twisted up to max pressure to match the other. 416's. So I'm definitely interested in both 20" and 23" load data. So let's discuss the lesser loved of the Ruger...

    I think they should make a 285gr .375" TTSX/GMX/E-Tip

    We all know, mono bullets of lighter weight will penetrate the same as a heavier lead bullet, because they don't shed weight. But 250/260 grains, I believe is more to satisfy velocity nuts. So, I did some calculations. Barnes bullets generally gain .001 in BC for every grain of bullet weight...

    For Sale Stainless Clamp-on Muzzle Brake

    It was used for two shots from my .300 RUM. First shot, it was lost for two days. Second shot, lost for two months. The rust is from the screw heads. I knew nothing about clamp brakes, and didn't notice it was compressed as far as it could be on my barrel. I replaced it with a Witt Machine...

    .416 Ruger

    Those of you that have them, what kind of performance are you getting with it? I've heard, unlike it's older brother, it has to be ran at crazy high pressure to match it's intended/inspiration cartridge. I would love to hear from 20" and 23" users. Thanks!

    I'm getting better with my iron sights

    My PH has me going out and firing one or two rounds each day at different distances. Today, I filled a 32oz Powerade bottle with water. I walked around my house and jogged back to my 30 yard mark, aim and fired. I actually hit it! https://youtube.com/shorts/YRUrHN1XQHQ

    Found a home for my African stock

    It just doesn't fit me enough to feel comfortable on the .375. So since I went to the trouble of bedding it, adding a real crossbolt and the Hogue red pad, I put it on my .300 Win Mag. So the uncomfortable fit is still uncomfortable, but the recoil level isn't high enough to be painful. I think...

    Want To Trade .375 Ruger Alaskan

    I don't need two of them any longer. I'd like something different. A .416 Ruger maybe ? A heavy barrel rifle to play with in .260, 7-08 etc....maybe a WSM or a Mossberg 590 A1, or the 930 SPX....I love pistols too. Just figured I'd put this up and see if something tickles my fancy. It is a...

    Practice Exercises- How do you prepare?

    I will be practicing, two shots at a time with my .375 Ruger, to get ready for Buffalo hunting. Yesterday I stuck a foam plate on a piece of cardboard as a target. I stood at 30 yards, fired, quick reload and fired again. My first shot hit center. I'll keep doing this until my two shots are...

    Any of you'z fellers do Cerakote?

    The previous owner of my Ruger African had the barrel and action Cerakoted in "Stainless", so it looks similar to the newer Alaskans. He didn't do the bottom metal, and I want to get it done. So I figured I'd ask if any AH members do it, and give business to them.

    Wood stock Trouble

    The factory cross bolt in the Ruger African, is just a skinny screw that fits loosely....aka useless. My stock had a small crack over where the screw is at the recoil lug. As soon as I started lowering the drill press, the wood chunk popped out. I was planning to bed it with epoxy to take...

    Wildcats from the .450 Marlin

    I wonder if anyone has ever tried necking the .450 Marlin down to .375" ? Seems like that would be one awesome lever gun to have. Performance wise, it would be on par with the .376 Steyr, and using Hornady's 300 DGX would prevent problems in the mag tube.

    "Whitetail" load for .375 Ruger

    Stay .375 or go to .416 ?

    I'm having my .375 Alaskan rebarreled with a 27" 1:10 twist in .375. That was the original plan, but my Smith asked me if I wanted to go .416, since I could use all my 375 brass still. Personally I don't think the extra energy of the .416 Ruger, will overshadow the versatile nature of the .375...

    .375 Ruger Velocity 20" vs 23"

    I loaded up six rounds, same as I used to test my Alaskan before. 300 grain TSX over 69gr of RL15. You gain 22.6 fps per inch. African - 2442 Alaskan - 2374 I'm pretty sick, that I traded for an African to gain 68 fps

    .375 Ruger, 300gr TSX and IMR4350

    Is Solid bullets the way to go in a .375 ?

    Who would by .375 Ruger Ammunition by Barnes?

    I've been talking to Barnes, and I asked about loaded ammo for the .375 Ruger. They asked me if anyone else would want it. So I will make this a poll. Seeing that I haven't been able to get back to reloading yet, I would appreciate something other than Hornady ammo.
