The New Haven, 458 Winchester Super Express was also available with a 22" barrel.

Almost that time of year again. I will be gathering and packing gear today. I am talking the same 20" stainless 416 Ruger with 350 TTSX. Unfortunately, never took the time to get the CEB 325 grain Maximus load finalized. I need to prioritize that, after this season. I think that 325 Maximus is...

Beautiful rifles. I Really like that cartridge.

Favorite Marlin 45-70's.

I am currently using 2000-MR with Barnes 350 TTSX in the 416 Ruger. I based my load on extrapolation of load data from the Speer's listed 350 grain. Further comparison with this Federal load data for the 400 grain TBBC, I feel pretty good about my non-pressure tested load. The 2000-MR seems to...

Good to see that you have one that the barrel is in spec.

Lol, yep, The pound metal can's price sticker is $17.13 from Longs Drugs. Today was its first and last opening. It seemed fine. I blended it with an 8 lbs jug, to free up space.

325 WSM, 200 grain TSX, Winchester 760. A few trial loads.

416 Ruger, 350 grain TSX and TTSX. 350 TSX with IMR 4320, 350 TTSX with 2000-MR.

The 375 H&H and the 375 Ruger are both SAAMI 62,000 psi Maximum Average Pressure. The Ruger has a few grains more case capacity.

Sad to see that. I have a few of their scopes and binoculars. I definitely like their optics. Their customer service was great the time that I had a reticle replaced with a different type.

I have shot a couple of moose with the 270 grain TSX from a 20" 375 Ruger. And was on-site when another was shot with another 375 Ruger. Distances were approximately 20, 60, 180 yards. No complaints on bullet performance. The 270 TSX and LRX are my .375 picks for Alaska. The .375 270 TSX...

Purely based on my on experiences, I cannot shoot to the gun potential nor systemically differentiate between the rifle, scope, ammo, or me issue; if I do not setup a consistently stable & repeatable shooting position. Time spent saves me time and ammo wasted. Could be any of the possibilities...

375 Ruger, 270 gr TSX, H380.

I am certainly not a longer range hunter or shooter. For my moose shooting distances the .375 270 grain TSX at ~2700 fps have been excellent. I have loaded some of the 270 grain LRX which group well out of my rifle. I suppose this is my long range .375 bullet. I think the listed bc of it, is...

You pretty well covered the pros & cons. I have both, like both. Predominately I use the Ruger. I like the 20" barrel more than 22" of my stainless 416 Remington, and prefer the shorter cartridge for basically the same performance. 300, 325, 350 grain bullets both are easy 250 yard cartridges...

Yesterday, completed 100ea. 375 Ruger, 270 gr Barnes LRX, H380.

I have recovered 3. 1 .416, 350 grain TSX. Moose. Frontal head shot, entered slightly under the brain pan, sheared off bone protrusions, recovered in well busted vertebrae. Less than 25 yard impact. 2. .375, 270 grain TSX. Moose. Basically the same shot as above. Slight different vertebrae...

A slight correction on the bullet type. That being an older original Barnes X, their first all copper offering. Which definitely had some consistenty issues. I think they did more tweaking than just adding grooves to the TSX.

The all copper conventional expanding type have become the only ones that I hunt with. Used within their velocity / expansion range I think they work well. Depending on which bullets compared, you may have less expanded frontal area with the copper ones. I am sure you can find failures to...

I don't currently use suppressors. But, I do like 20-22" bolt rifles, and lever guns 16-20". I have a few 24-26" bolt rifles, but extremely rare for me to use one. Were I a long range shooter, or just wanted the velocity boost, I would use the longer barrels.

Boondock Sporting Goods in Eagle River. Palmer Wasilla Highway is Arctic Ammo. Chimos in downtown Wasilla. Sportsman's Warehouse on the Parks Highway coming into Wasilla from Anchorage. Most any of the Three Bears have a decent firearms selection.

Another batch of these. 45-70, 380 gr Lehigh WFN, Accurate 2200.

416 Ruger 350 gr TSX.

Not the best picture, but just starting to load the 416, 325 Maximus in both the 416 Ruger and Remington. I am guessing the bc of the 325 Maximus is going to be fairly close to the much longer 350 TTSX. But, only a guess. Maybe @michael458 will see this and give some commentary of the above video

416 Ruger, CEB 325 grain Maximus with 2000-MR powder.

Per a post elsewhere, back in stock at MidwayUSA and Graf & Sons. Graf & Sons does show it in stock as of a few moments ago.

My take, individual mileage may vary: The energy number is useless if it does not convert into, displayed penetration and tissue destruction / permanent relocation. If the bullet is up to the task, usually velocity increases that. Though, at some point some bullets seem to have a sweet spot of...

Yesterday. Trial loads for 45-70 with 380 gr Lehigh WFN Solid.

The 338 Winchester is one of my favorites. I also have a particular rifle in 338 Winchester. A buddy of mine said something similar to, that 338 just flat out kills stuff. I agree, with a proper bullet. It would still be my choice if I were a one rifle hunter for North American type game...

It has been maybe a year since I loaded the LRX 375 Ruger. I don't recall, but guessing with the H380 and my slightly longer COL I am compressed some. I use a Lee Factory Crimp, regardless of groove location. Though, I do not recall my loads being a rememberable compression event. I would...

I have been using H380 from Barnes reloading book / and online info, for the 270 grain TSX and LRX. My COL is a bit longer than theirs. I get ~ 2720 fps from a 20" barrel. The Speer #15 Manual list RL 16 with their 270 & 285 grain bullets. Of course, one would have to proceed with due caution...

One point where it will differ from the New Haven production is the trigger. The older production has the original type open style trigger. The after New Haven production has the MOA, box style triggers.

The 375 H&H and the 375 Ruger have the same SAAMI Maximum Average Pressure of 62,000 psi. The Ruger has a slightly larger case capacity.

This was what first attracted my attention to the 375 Ruger. No regrets. I have and had prior to the 375 Ruger, plenty of 375 H&H's in various barrel lengths blued and stainless. The 20" stainless 375 Rugers are my favorite .375 rifle/cartridge combination. The same applies for me regarding the...

I cannot speak to the ruggedness / longevity, but optically and field of view I am a fan. I have the non-illuminated Gen 2 Plex. The first generation of the Plex was definitely too thin for my liking. I am a fan of 1st focal plane #4's, but have no problem with the Gen 2 Plex.

I have pre- buyout McMillan, Bell & Carlson, and H-S Precision. No complaints with any of them. The H-S Precision stocks, I have ordered directly from them specifically for LOP, Decelerator pad, if front sling was wanted or deleted, and what type of paint scheme. The H-S Precisions on the...

I have a few Swarovski and Kahles products that I really like. The 1.7-10x42 Plex gen2, the 1-6x24 EE illuminated, and the normal eye relief 1-6x24's illuminated and non-illuminated. The Kahles Helia C non-illuminated 1.1-4x24 and 1.5-6x42 are still some of my favorites. Simple 1st Focal...

My favorite "big" scopes top out at 10x with a 42mm objective. I do have a couple with 50mm objectives, but for my use any advantage goes mostly unseen. Everyone has their own hunting style, terrain, etc.

You may want to change your password. I had that happen.

I think the 270 Winchester would be hard to beat for your intended purposes.

I agree. There are certainly low light and environmental conditions which make an illuminated aiming point very handy. I was somewhat forced into the illumination when I could not easily obtain the scopes I wanted with the heavier 1st focal reticles. I have a few 1st focal #4's with...

This is .416 350 TTSX at ~2220 fps impact. edit: if I recall correctly, it was about 3/4" expanded.

All of my Alaskans are 20". But they did produce some limited runs of stainless 23" left hand, and right hand (if I recall correctly) with laminated stock and the express sights. Occasionally on the internet you see these come up for sale. By the time those hit the market, my re-barrel to 23.5"...

I handled a used one a few weeks ago. I think it was is 416 Ruger. I honestly did not pay much attention to it, because I prefer the shorter barrels with sights. Isn't the rail removable ?

My most used Alaskan, with a McMillan stock, and fairly heavy 1-8x24 scope & Alaska Arms rings; is about 9 lbs 8 ounces empty. If I recall correctly, bare rifles with Bell & Carlson, H-S Precision, and the original Hogue were all around 8 lbs 1 or 2 ounces, bare rifle weight. My early non...

Definitely a good safety reminder!! Be assured, incorrect boxing / labeling can and does happen with more than Barnes.

Ballistically speaking, with standard factory or standard hand loads, the 416's perform basically the same. The Rigby depending on the rifle weight / etc , may deliver a larger recoil jolt to the shoulder because of the larger powder charge. Factory ammo, rifle, and component availability for...

I am a fan of the cartridge and the rifles. I am particularly fond of the 20" stainless. I am not a big fan of the Hogue stock. It is serviceable, does provide a good grip when wet, but the forend is fatter than I care for. I have replaced those with McMillan, Bell & Carlson, and H-S Precision...

Sorry, I don't have pictures. The new action pictures were posted on another forum shortly after the announcement of back in business. I assume the recoil lug system is somewhat similar to the newer Sakos, not sure because I do not have one. The actual lug portion fits inside the stock, has a...
