Hornady .375 Ruger Dangerous Game Ammo FAQ:
The ideal range for this ammunition is typically within 300 yards for most large game hunting scenarios. However, due to its high ballistic coefficient of 0.380, it maintains excellent accuracy and energy at extended ranges, potentially allowing for ethical shots out to 400 yards or more in the hands of a skilled marksman.
The .375 Ruger offers similar ballistic performance to the .375 H&H Magnum but in a shorter case length, allowing for use in standard-length actions. This results in potentially lighter, more compact rifles without sacrificing power or performance.
The .375 Ruger is designed to function in standard-length actions, similar to those used for the .30-06 Springfield. This allows for more compact rifle designs compared to magnum-length cartridges with similar performance.
The recommended twist rate for .375 Ruger barrels is typically 1:12" (one full rotation in 12 inches of barrel). This twist rate adequately stabilizes the 270gr bullet for optimal accuracy.
No, this ammunition uses non-corrosive Boxer primers. This means it won't leave corrosive residues in your firearm, simplifying cleaning and maintenance procedures.
In a quality, well-tuned rifle, this ammunition is capable of MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy or better. This translates to groups of about 1 inch or less at 100 yards, which is more than adequate for ethical hunting at extended ranges.
Yes, Hornady brass is known for its quality and consistency, making it excellent for reloading. However, as with all ammunition used for reloading, it's important to inspect cases carefully and follow proper reloading procedures.
On large game animals, this bullet is designed to expand to approximately 1.5 times its original diameter. This controlled expansion, combined with the InterLock feature, helps ensure deep penetration and efficient energy transfer.
While extremely powerful, this ammunition is specifically designed for hunting large and dangerous game. For tactical or self-defense use, there are more appropriate choices that offer better terminal performance in those specific scenarios without the excessive penetration risk.
