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 ?
