Thank you sir. I was curious if mine was an odd ball.

The folks at Hornady are garbage. They neutered the .375 and .416 Ruger from the start (Hornady and Ruger did). If they had let other manufacturers build the rifles, and other companies load the ammo, I believe it would have taken over South Africa from the .375 H&H. But instead, in the...

A fired case, filled completely to the top, mine holds 101 grains. What do you other .375 Ruger shooters get?

What speeds you getting with your 9.3 Ruger?

Feel like that would give similar speeds to the 9.3 Ruger.

I had a blast shooting those 235's. Recoil energy was 35 ft/lbs, but that's mostly to the Hogue stock, Nikon 1-4x24, and 9 rounds on the stock. Should be a good load to nail deer down.

If I remember correctly, they were genuine stainless and not just a cheesy Cerakote.

Win760, AA2700, H414, VIHT N-160, or Superformance. Would also consider Primers, maybe a mix of Small Pistol, Large Rifle, and Large Rifle Magnums. Im located in Southwest Virginia and would be willing to drive up to 2 hours to meet. Thanks!

Moderators, please delete this post. I will repost with a different title.

I'm just trying to get rid of the RL25. Its taking up space and I have nothing that uses it.

Updating my post, adding yesterdays results. These are from my 23" African. I sold the Alaskan, had no need for it. 1300 feet above sea level 77⁰ F 300gr TSX 73.3gr Win 760 Coal 3.333" 1-2568 2-2542 235gr Hotcor RL15 79.3gr COAL 3.31" 1- 3013 2- 3020 3- 2977 This load was done out of...

Yeap, in this case, you would be better off necking down the 6.5 PRC, because even using the 7 PRC would be detrimental to barrel life.

19 is actually too slow, thats why I was shocked. We RL17, I had 300 grain bullets going over 2700. It showed no pressure signs, but I knew it was too far. Recoil was stout.

Lol

You have any Win760, AA2700, H414, RL15, RL16, Big Game, or Viht N-160 ?

.375 H&H has been killing everything on earth for more than 100 years.

Anyone?

I'll definitely play around with different combinations. What really surprised me was the RL19 load. I didn't expect it to work so well.

@jaycee just wanted you to know I wasn't being a smart @$$ by what I said. I have some more RL16 data I can share with you too.

The 300 grain round nose reduced, is just for whitetail deer. Don’t really need the expansion when your bullet starts out the size of an expanded .243 bullet lol

You said you found Speer data, I was showing you Sierra.

Did some chrono work today myself. Using my Ruger African. 300gr TSX 73.3gr Win760 Coal 3.333" 1- 2568 2- 2542 300gr Gameking 81.0gr RL19 Fired only one 2467 235gr Hotcors 79.3 RL15 3.31" 1- 3013 2- 3020 3- 2977 My reduced load: 300gr Interlock RN 60gr RL16 3.29" 1- 1968

Really? After a short search, I got these.

I actually put my rifle and cartridges, in a vehicle with the windows up, in the summer to check for pressure spikes. After a couple hours, inside temps were 120ish, and I had no issues. I was developing my buffalo load, so I wanted to see if Africa heat would cause problems. Maybe because my...

RL17 is the best powder for the .375 Ruger, hands down, not even close. I cant find anymore, so Im shooting Win760 now. But with RL17, I got a 300 grain all the way to 2700 with no sticky bolt, and no flattened primers. I backed it back down to 2595. My extreme spread was 3 fps.

Does it have any real value? It was given to me, and Id like to sell it. I know the .358 JDJ is a .444 Marlin necked down to .35. @Bob Nelson 35Whelen

Would also be interested in some 6.5 130 TSX, 140 Ballistic Tips, or other heavy 6.5 bullets.

$45 shipped, prefer paypal Will also be open to trading for some 250 grain TTSX .375" bullets.

I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying the DGX is a good bullet lol As far as getting boutique ammo. One of the popular ones, my friend there offered to load me some ammo if I sent them my brass.

Sold

I forgot to mark them sold, I'm sorry. Russ should have them by now

This is sarcasm, right?

Thank you for the great data. Wish I had written down the temps and all when I did my .375 Ruger testing.

Any of you fellas that actually have brass and are shooting a .416 Ruger, do you have a y trouble getting 2400 fps with a 400 grain?

The .458 Win Mag, is not and never has been a .458 Lott. But the .45-70 was never known as the Wonder-Wounder either It might be ok now, but the .458 Win Mag got more people killed than covid vaccines

$110 shipped will be just fine. I don't want to rip anyone off, and Im not going to use them.

Asking $175 shipped OBO I generally use Paypal or USPS money orders, but I am flexible.

The .375 and .416 Ruger are fantastic designs, that Hornady and Ruger held back. If they had let companies like Musgrave chamber them in Africa, I believe they would be hugely popular in Africa by now. I know they have a following, but I truly believe they could have been much much bigger...

I dig it lol

9.3 Exsanguinator .366 Creedless It's loaded with the hard to get Reloader 01 powder, that's only sold by dealers licensed to sell the Glock 7.

I call it the 9.3x19mm. I believe if I chamber it in an AR and claim to have killed everything from mice to T-Rex, they will make a close clone and market the hell out of it, as the greatest subsonic creation ever. It will use a Lose twist barrel, and need a 30 MOA rail to get to 100 yards...

Precisely why I asked this. Watt's and mine side by side. Color diff is due to lighting.

Thanks brother

Please do post a pic Do

My boss man gave me a pound. But I noticed most of it is tiny spherical pieces, but there are random cylindrical pieces as well. So I'd really like to see what it looks like just to make me feel better that I'm not dumping 77 grains of shotgun or pistol powder into my .375 lol

I specifically asked about Ukraine causing is troubles, and they avoided that question all together.

I emailed Aliant over my struggle to find Reloader 17. Just got this reply.

Which looks to be extreme high quality ammo, but $100+ for 20 rounds, makes me hurt inside lol

Im Overkill338 on the other forum. I already shipped you 20 pieces of brass, but Ill go through all my stuff and see if I can find some more extra.
