**You may wish to read the article I mentioned the other day that is the current issue of SCI magazine--they did neck up the .375 Ruger and were pleasantly surprised with the results--

IMHO--your 30-375 loaded with 200 grain bullets would probably do anything you need it to do for a medium gun if you had the .416 for your big bore--personally I have used a HS Precision on 300 Ultra-mag to take many plains game in Africa in addition to elk, deer and bear in Montana--Have never felt I needed more--

Boddington has stated in some of the article I have read that he felt the perfect 3 gun combo is a .338 along with a .416 or 458 depending on your tolerance for recoil.. I would certainly tend to agree ...

I missed your earlier comment regarding the SCI article – I don’t have a subscription so will have to see if its available on their website.

I did however contact Hornady earlier this year to obtain the SAAMI specifications for the 375 Ruger which I shared with another forum. I was informed by Hornady that I’d be pleasantly surprised/very happy with any combination of the .308, .338, .416, or .423 375 Ruger based cartridges that I posed as potential wildcats in my email messages. Another participate on that forum had been in telephonic contact with Hornady on a number of occasions and was informed that Hornady/Ruger were looking very hard at a 416 Ruger cartridge in the near future due to their testing results. I’m lead to understand from both communications that Hornady/Ruger have tested many potential production variables between the .284 and .458 calibers.
