The advantages of a big game cartridge chambered in a rifle with a standard length action cannot be over looked. Interest in such a combination should give the new Ruger/Hornady cartridge a long run. I do not believe the Styer cartridge caught on because American hunters could not warm up to the rifle it was initially chambered in, and there was little reason for American arms makers to add a European cartridge to their already extensive chamberings. Without acceptance in the American market place, a new cartridge is unlikely to succeed.

If the American Arms makers began to chamber their rifles for the new .375 cartridge, and dropped the .375 H&H from their line, how long would it be before the grand old .375 H&H fell into obscurity, at least in a North American context? The vast majority of North American .375's will never see Africa, but the ballistics are more than suitable for bison, elk, moose, and the big bears at home.
