That should give a mighty punch on either end. Fascinating to see how it performs for you.

Even though I only know it on paper, it's an impressive cartridge.
I'd choose bullets with care, the big RUM is capable of slamming them into game at much higher velocity than the .375 H&H, which is what most of the .375 bullets are designed to serve.
Enjoy! Most of those RUM's are accurate shooters!

The 375 ruger is a good cartridge and is loaded to modern pressures so its LOOKs like its a lot better then a 375 H&H BUT when the 375 H&H is loaded to the same pressure theres hardley any difference - 50-100 fps max !
The 375 RUM is MUCH ahead of the 375 ruger and the 375 H&H BUT it has very Violent :twisted: :evil: recoil too ! The 378 Weatherby is the KING of the 375 cal and its just a FRIGGIN shoulder breaker ! :twisted: :evil:
You gotta be TUFF to shoot a 375 RUM or a 378 Weatherby - 375 ruger and 375 H&H not so much different then a 338 Win Mag ! JMHO ! :wink:
Cheers
