The only fly in the ointment is that recoil also goes up exponentially. The .375 Ruger is a hard-kicking cartridge. It is nothing like the .378 Weatherby Magnum, of course, but it does kick harder than the .375 H&H. In the Ruger Model 77 this is mitigated by a good, straight stock. On the other hand, it is exacerbated by the fact that, in its .30-06-length action, it can be built lighter than a .375 H&H (especially if you use a shorter barrel as well).

Even though I think Boddington is a paid mouth piece and I expect him to shout the company line, this statement in the last paragraph got my attention. That's pretty strong language for a cheer leader.

Could there be an issue with excessive recoil in this new cartridge?
