I specifically asked about Ukraine causing is troubles, and they avoided that question all together.

I emailed Aliant over my struggle to find Reloader 17. Just got this reply.

Which looks to be extreme high quality ammo, but $100+ for 20 rounds, makes me hurt inside lol

Im Overkill338 on the other forum. I already shipped you 20 pieces of brass, but Ill go through all my stuff and see if I can find some more extra.

My African only had one, and it was teeny tiny, and wasnt doing the job. Wish I had all the pictures still, but no idea where they are now. Anyway, its the bottom one in this picture, under the BLACK Alaskan. Both of my rifles were early models. Of course I sold the Alaksan and now my African...

My .375 Ruger African cracked it's stock. I used a cross bolt to repair it, but I still ended up putting it on a .300 Win Mag.

I despise the .30-06 and any of the off spring. Growing up I had an uncle thats all you heard. .30-06 drops all animals in their tracks, field dress it, and quarter it for you. .30-06 can take down planes and stop a M1A tank. Ok, maybe Im exaggerating a little, but you get the idea. The 6.5...

I'm digging this post back up. I feel like it should be a sticky for the .375 Ruger crowd lol

I have a 30mm Nikon Tactical 1-4x24 on my .375 Ruger and it's been phenomenal for me.

98- Hornady 139gr SST - $40 shipped 45- Barnes 110gr TTSX - $40 shipped 34- Hornady 139gr Interlocks $10 shipped 45- New Remington 7-08 brass $45 shipped All together $110 shipped obo I prefer Paypal or USPS money order, but I can use one of those other pay apps if I HAVE to. I'll also take...

I'll take the loss, I just need a couple of pounds of 17.

I got lucky with my first test loads. 77.1gr of RL 17 with a 300gr VRG-3. Speed was 2550ish if I remember correctly, but my ES was 5 or less.

Anyone here tried it? Ive used RL15,16, and 17, and still have 15 and 16, but looking at different things. Ive got about 4 lbs of RL25 that I would trade for some 17 lol

Thanks! I seen the Sierra 200gr Pro Hunters too. Man, Im out of touch with this stuff. My .375 Ruger and all my reloading stuff got put in storage after my wife passed in 2021. I got it all back out last week, and now I feel like a noob again lol

I want some to play around with, making reduced loads for my lady to shoot. Any of you sitting on some you won't be using? PS: I also need some more RL17 Thanks!

I can't blame you one bit! I don't have the ability to leave a gun new in box.

I just want to compliment your taste. I love Ruger rifles, and collected the boat paddle stock versions. I never could get my hands on the RSM's. I am truly jealous, those are gorgeous !

Absolutely. RL17, I was able to get .375 Roy numbers from my .375 Ruger with no pressure signs.

Thank you fellas. I'm honestly struggling to keep going forward.

That is very cool. Sorry I haven't responded. Can't even remember if I posted it here, but my wife passed away October 7th. I've been on auto-pilot since.

Brownell had the replacement parts I needed for my Hawkeye.

I dont mean to sound argumentative. But I believe there is no way in hell a 20" barrel on a .416 Ruger. The .375 Ruger, exceeds the H&H without over-pressure. The .416 Ruger however, is not as efficient as the .375, and especially not in a 20" tube. Was the chrono at 2 feet ? What kind of speed...

If you want to use 300 grain for everything, get you some A-Frames or Weldcores. If you'd like a little flatter trajectory, get the Hornady Outfitter with the 250 GMX. That paired with your Accupoint scope would be a brilliant setup!

I had some when I first got the .375 Ruger. Fired into water jugs, they came apart faster than a Nosler Ballistic Tip.

I have the VRG-3 in 200gr .308" and 300gr .375".

I'm using 300 grain VRG-3 Peregrine for everything on my .375 Ruger. I would choose a Swift A-Frame over a Partition. They look similar in construction, but are far from twins. The Partition has a thinner front jacket, to promote rapid expansion and "bang flops". Whereas the A-Frame is built...

100- 2299 0.00" 150- 2157 -1.61" 200- 2020 -5.10" 250- 1888 -10.72" 300- 1762 -18.77" 350- 1643 -29.62" 400- 1530 -43.69" If that's what you like, go for it.

Not me! I caught hell for hunting whitetail with a .338 Win Mag, buts its what I enjoyed. I now use my .375 in that role. If you took my post as bashing, you're wrong.

The point I was trying to make, is there is plenty of scientific data to show, after 2600, penetration can actually be less than the same bullet at 2400. So trying to shoot something with the largest cannon you can temporarily shoulder before it weighs you to the ground, isn't always the best...

Come on. I need a couple 350 grain bullets.

As much as I love boomers, this one is far too much for anything realistic. Impact velocity higher than 2600, no matter the bullet, penetration suffers. Anything above 2600 is just a waste, and beating on your for nothing.

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...

Go read this https://www.africahunting.com/threads/the-375-h-h-the-norma-oryx.41228/ He calls it the most underrated bullet on the planet.

We have several hundred, fresh out of the garden.

Impact Impulse, which is calculated by the speed, weight, and size of the meplat.

Ft/lbs has nothing to do with killing ability or penetration. It's a number that shouldn't be mentioned, much less, worshipped.

Well I can understand that. Somewhere around here is my post, where I put a lot of work in comparing the 20" vs 23" .375 Ruger. So trust me, I do appreciate well documented load work. I wouldn't even have replied, but someone said something about people throwing off on it because the internet...

I need them for a project I'm doing. I've also got some 300gr Partitions I'd trade if anyone wants them. Thanks fellas

Omg nooooo! I seen this too late. :(

Dude, I was just having a little fun. Your post is interesting and informative. But honestly, without stirring it up, it would have died at 4, maybe 5 replies and then went to the land of the lost threads. Apparently you're new to forums, and especially this one. Ole @Bob Nelson 35Whelen is...

Want to trade some LRX for 300 grain TSX ?

My favorite two: My M77 MkII .300 Win Mag My M77 Hawkeye African .375 Ruger

I do yearn for it. I started with a .300 Win Mag and 12 gauges when I was 11-12. All my rifles have "magnum" in the name except the .375 lol I love the boomers.

I dont want a double, I think they are ugly personally. But let's be glad we have the choices we do!

The .375 Ruger is a fantastic and efficient cartridge. With my 23" barrel, I've pushed a 300 grain to 2700, but it's not necessary to do so. My 20" ran 60-66 fps slower. My pet load that I will be taking for buffalo is 2595, and pressure is under 60k if the simulation is correct. $800 would put...

If I'm being honest, I want a .416 Ruger to go with my .375. I also want to build a 9.3 Ruger and .458 Ruger. I would say hardly anyone here, operates on "need" lol There was a member here that built a .458 Ruger, but he isn't around any longer. I tried contacting him. I believe he stated it...

Don't base it solely on "need". I have zero "need" for my .375 Ruger here in Virginia, but I absolutely love it. I enjoy shooting it, as well as working up loads. I've also found out, using it on deer, you get virtually zero ruined meat. Just a neat 3/8" hole in and out. Maybe find you a Ruger...

Doubles truly can be deadly at both ends. It kicks the hardest when you pay for it.

My "dream" rifle? I can maybe narrow it down to 3. Ruger RSM .375 H&H Ruger Precision Rifle .300 Win Mag/PRC Weatherby Accumark .338-378 But dream custom: Trued Ruger MkII action 26" Bartlein Sendero contour .375 Ruger. Bell & Carlson stock I'm not hard to please lol

I love the .264 Win Mag, but it suffered a similar fate back then. Light bullets would break apart, causing splash wounds. I hope to eventually change the barrel out on my .264 for a 26" 1:8 version.
