Ruger Compact Magnums

Ruger has apparently come out with 2 new short cartidges as a result of the .375 Ruger--they are in .338 and .300 caliber --titled-338 RCM and .300 RCM -Ruger Compact Magnums... interesting article in Guns & Ammo...

Apparently they are achieving 2750 fps for the .338 out of a 20" barrel--should make an awesome Alaskan Moose/bear gun..The article does state that the .338 does NOT have high pressures..

Coincidently, Terry Wieland just wrote a less than flattering article on the .375 Ruger ... His concern was with the high pressures needed to achieve the velocity out of the cartridge--which by the way,on his chronograph was about 100 plus fps slower than the claimed velocity..no real suprise there..also the lower weight of the rifles caused considerably recoil for caliber of this size

Terry warned those planning on taking this to Africa or Alaska after animals that bite back..to be careful on the loads --as with the high pressures.. could cause a problem, more so in Africa with the heat..other concerns was the "gritty" feel of the action and the "too" small safety on the rifle itself for a dangerous game rifle..
