#10MinuteTalk - 375 Ruger - Snappy yet Sophisticated 

Won a lot of shooting comps along with a lot of dangerous game it took Very important cartridge

AMEN TO THAT! THE GOAT!

Lol it’s been covered

35 Whelen would be a great video, then after that please do Col. Whelen's other great design the .22 Hornet.

In my opinion the .375 H&H has a certain flair of sophistication to it that no other cartridge has, the .416 Rigby and .300 H&H comes closet to it in my book in that aspect.

@@willrowell3218 the big 458s and 45-70, 38-55 are in my book too.

​@@willrowell3218300 H&H is the Sophie Lauren of cartridges.

U are correct

The african has 23" barrel

What stock and barrel combo? I have the Alaskan 20” with a hogue stock and are getting terrible Groups, shooting 270sp-rp currently.

@@akjohnmahaney My Ruger Alaskan is the number one single shot 375 Ruger caliber with 20-in barrel and the two-piece wood stock which is all original that just have a Leopold 100th anniversary 3 to 9x40 scope on it factory rings from Ruger so I can imagine it would be those fire points at your shooting. You think you'd get good groups with them? I'm not sure try different bullets. I know that's hard to do when they're a bad expensive. Good luck to you

@@leskrug9266 thx for the reply!

Man, I saw someone put down a Moose with a 310 grain Woodleigh out of a .35 Whelen. Damn thing went down like it was struck down by god himself.

Love the .358 bores

@@timeverett7828 great short range brush calibers in the 350 legend, 35 Rem and the 358 win, excellent long range hammers in the 35 AI, 358 Norma and 358 STA, and great versatility in everything from the 358 win, 35 Whelen and 35 AI... excellent cartridge family

@@ashmerch2558 yup

Have you chronoed the 375 ruger rounds? Thanks

I second that

I would very much appreciate a 45-70 episode

Since when did any ffl let another person pick up a gun register to another person.

@@Sivyis333 it doesn't work the way you think it works, we don't register guns here and I bet they had his wife do the 4473 on the wrong gun.

I 2nd the 338 Federal.

Absolutely, I own them both. Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight in 338-06 A-Square and Savage 16FCSS Weather Warrior in 338 Federal. Both wear Leupold scopes too.

Lol I disagree. My Sako 85 in 375 H&H weights 7.5 lbs. I'll stick with the Holland and Holland...

@@paulellsworth7679 I guess I was referencing the ones they mentioned in the video. I haven't shot the H&H but I've shot the Ruger...I didn't find it to be too unpleasant. I personally don't have a need for that kind of firepower but if I lived in Alaska or something I could see the desire. Recoil is always subjective...I had a friend with a 300 Win Mag that kicked like a mule...actually caused him to have a bad flinch. I got a different 300 Win Mag on trade one time and thought it was going to be miserable. Turned out it recoiled less than a 30-06 I had at the time. Two different rifles, too very different experiences.

Thinking about one myself but recoil has to be brutal?

@@joshuacharron1447 about to ramble; Since I was a kid growing up reading outdoor magazines in the 60's and 70's I was fascinated by the 375HH. Then Finn AAgard tells me that the 375HH is the ultimate world hunting cartridge. I actually thought I would be quite a traveling guy when I grew up. Did not happen,LOL. So, 375 Ruger came along. researched it , watched it. then the Patriot came along, watched it (reviews) , then Sportsmansguide was selling it for about 315! Got it!. Already had reviewed reloading data for reduced loads!. Before the rifle showed up I already accumulated the brass, bullets, powder and Dies. 235 Grain at 2000 MV. Deer, pig, etc. Went to range with Superformance 250 GMX and the reloads. There were two older gentlemen there that I knew who are in the 70's, then there are myself and my buddy. Superformance first. I think I did the calculation at 54 LBS recoil. 7.75 lb rifle? scoped. 6.4 bare rifle. I pull off the first shot, could not stop laughing and exclaiming "THATS IT??" My buddy shot, same response. I then offered the rifle to the two guys who of course "no way' . I explained just roll with it, you are not in a tactical situation where you are leaning into the rifle to maintain target acquisition, just roll with it , relax. I let those two guys shoot four rounds at 3 buck a shot because they were having so much fun. Range time. 100 yards off sandbags, with a ....drumroll,,, barska scope on it. Only one I had at the time that weighed over a pound; to add weight to the rifle. Factory load, sub moa, reloads hit same point of impact as the factory GMX, best three round group 1/2 inch . Two shooters, me and my buddy. Three groups fired, average group 3/4 inch Am I happy ? OH HEll Yess!

@@joshuacharron1447 I know this may be hard to believe, but nope. Like any serious rifle cartridge, shoot it away from the prone or bench and roll with it. I sincerely Hate recoil, sold a Win 70 in 338 Win because it was just too painful to shoot. When you shoot any high powered rifle off the bench sit as upright as possible , stop leaning into the rifle so much. Been shooting steel butt plate service rifles since 85 along with serious boomers.

@@ed5042 that's cool sounds like I need one and I understand about the 338 have had 3 of them ty for the info

@@joshuacharron1447 sportsmans warehouse has them for 329!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go 7mag all day! You will be able to find multiple different types of factory ammunition in most hardware stores and walmart's everywhere. Plus the sectional density is better on the 7mm and if you reload, bullet selection is larger. You will never make a shot with a 7mag and wish you had any 6.5mm.....jmo

That would be pretty interesting for sure! Thanks for the idea!

Exactly. The Ruger is an American round, the H&H is international.

Congratulations on knowing what every camp in Africa has on hand for ammunition.

Oof - a light 375 Ruger definitely would be punishing. Very correct about the rings too - good quality rings are what hold everything together, so if they're bad, the whole setup will be bad!

What powder and charge weight?

@@calynutzu93 rl 17. And warm.

In theory this a good idea. However, in the current climate there is no promise you will find .270 Win or .243 or even .308 in any town during hunting season. I personally take steps to avoid this issue ever happening to me. I alway take a backup rifle and ammo. I always pack ammo and hunting tags in my clothes tote with my medications. I always have at least 60-120 rounds of ammo per hunting rifle caliber on hand. I have never suffered one of those terrible moments people talk about happening. Knock on wood. 😂

Lol African 30-06 - that's awesome!

Andrew Russette never heard of sticky bolts running the 375... Now what some might find “sticky” is if they’re used to shooting a push feed action and go to controlled feed..

You mean sired the .30-03?

And I don't see anything about that round siring the .30-06?

@@georgewhitworth9742 That is probably more accurate. Especially for those who know and appreciate the chain of progression. The '03 cartridge did come first in 1903 (imagine!). The 1903 cartridge was identical to the '06 cartridge, save the '06 cartridge was .03 inches shorter to prevent the '03 round from chambering in the new configured chamber. So properly I should have said the 8x57mm round GRANDSIRED the .30-06 Springfield and so on. I shall now go to my room.

I find that my Hawkeye feeds just fine. And any bullets with the same ballistic coefficient at the same velocity will have the same trajectory.

You’re right, but the 8mm Rem. Mag is an improved .375 H&H case, fwiw.

Did you listen to our .243 episode? It kinda turned into that lol

Vortex Nation Podcast no I haven’t! I will have to check that out. Thank you!

Yes it is 270 isn't that great
