Dave -

I believe Ruger has resurrected the .404. Many believe that a .458 Ultra (.460 G&A) gives the .458 caliber optimum performance with a 500 gr bullet, while the larger capacity of the .460 Weatherby would work better with a heavier bullet. When I had my .375 Ultra built, I was looking for a cartridge which would produce .375 H&H velocities from a 20" barrel. I got what I was looking for with a little to spare, in that I can get about 100 fps more from my carbine with a 380 gr Rhino then is possible with the same bullet in a long barrelled .375 H&H.

If this new Hornady/Ruger .375 cartridge gives hunters true big game capability in an affordable rifle, what can be wrong with that? What makes the .375 H&H successful is it's ballistics, not it's cartridge. Tradition dictates what cartridge produces acceptable ballistics, but neither the chronograph or the game knows the difference.
