I know this may be incredibly dangerous, but it makes sense in my head. SO...

As the 375 ruger bold face is the same size as the H&H can I trim and fireform the H&H to the Ruger?

I know it will stress the case, but I was thinking of it for making some low pressure rounds for regular use (trail boss and cast bullets). I'm really not sure if blowing out the case a little will stress it to the point of danger / failure.

The reason I ask is that the .375Ruger cases are hard to get hold of in the UK.

If I'm asking for a bolt sized permanent cavity in my skull please tell me. :)
 
Can you form a H & H case that you can stuff into a .375 Ruger chamber? Yes
Will it be safe? NO
The base of the H&H is .021" smaller in front of the belt than the .375 Ruger chamber.
This is NOT "blowing out the case a little bit."
Don't try it.
 
I've just looked and the belt is wider than the diameter of the rug case. So I'll give up.

Thanks for the advice though.
 
Can you not order from somewhere else?
 
Sounds like it would be easier to go back to the ole H&H!
Thanks for asking the question before diving into it. Most people wouldn't have and you could have made it on here as a picture of what not to do!
Cheers,
Cody
 
The whole UK firearms market is the same size as a big basspro. I can't mail order from the USA, so I just need to wait for them to arrive.

The h&h would be more convenient, but I need a stainless rifle. Hence the Ruger guide gun.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
