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...

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.

I'll PM you here or on Telegram and explain my disappearing act. But long to short here, the melanoma came back on my wife's face. Check your PM.

Can the tables be copy and pasted. I've messaged Jerome to see if he could fix it so I can edit my posts until I can get the list finished. Anyone think Lehigh belongs there, or should I keep it to bullets that would be used in Africa? I've left out the 350 MK for the same reason.

When I get ready to post it in a another post, I will label it Pt.2, then when more come out, I'll make a Pt.3, so on and so forth.

Good point. Here's what I have so far.

I am too! A sucker for stats. My PH suggest I add an extra column for known expansion diameter if it is known that is.

This was written by my PH and friend in 2016, about an article published in Africa.

Best example is probably always going to be Jack Lott. The Win Mag's failure is why the Lott exsists. Contact the game departments and ask for the data they have on the .458 Win Mag. I didn't make this stuff up just to have a fun argument. My information came from a PH that's now over 70 years...

Yeah, I got the info from there. Just thought I'd tell you it's not in their catalog now, in case you like them. You could stock up. I'm interested in these "heavy duty" that appear to have a black coating. I need the length for those. Nosler, Sierra and Hornady doesn’t list lengths. I have...

The Woodleigh Hydro is no longer in their 2021 catalog.

Woodleigh also shows a 300 and 350 "Heavy Duty" RN SP. Slightly longer than the standard counterpart. Swift doesn't show lengths, so any of you with A-Frames, could you measure them? We can use this post to discuss this. When I get my data ready, I'll make a new post, and I can have a mod...

No, I do it because of all the people it got maimed or killed. That's why it was dubbed the "Wounder Wonder". In the beginning when no one had chronos, it was only mustering 1800 fps with a 500 grain bullet. I think modern powders have taken up a lot of its short comings, but if it was that...

I put a Nikon Tactical 1-4x24 on my .375 and love it. It's the first scope I've ever used with a 1x setting and it sure is nice when getting on target in the woods.

Thanks, just wish I could edit my first post to add them. I plan on adding all of them. I'm writing everything down in a notebook, so I can add them in large chunks. I'm going to add the Woodleigh FMJ too.

Any results using a Hammer on Cape Buffalo?

Well, I actually load my 300 grain to 2600. I was just using the modest velocity to show how well it would fly. The LRX is made to expand down to 1600 I believe. So at 50 yards I would think it would lose its petals, but I may be wrong.

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...
