.375 Ruger

The 375 Ruger is a rifle cartridge developed by Ruger and Hornady in 2007. It is a beltless, rimless, bottlenecked cartridge with a bullet diameter of .375 inches (9.5 mm) and a case length of 2.580 inches (65.5 mm).

The 375 Ruger was designed to provide hunters with a powerful and versatile cartridge that can handle a wide range of game, from large African plains game to North American big game such as elk, moose, and brown bear. The cartridge is capable of firing heavy, high-BC bullets at high velocities, resulting in excellent long-range performance and terminal ballistics.

Compared to other cartridges of similar power, the 375 Ruger has a shorter overall length, making it well-suited for use in lightweight and compact rifles. However, the cartridge still generates significant recoil, which may be uncomfortable for some shooters.

Overall, the 375 Ruger has gained a reputation as a highly capable and versatile cartridge for big game hunting, and it has become popular among hunters who value its power, accuracy, and versatility.
