    What do ya'll think about a 6.5-375 Ruger?

    Dave Manson's drawings are the most readable, easy on the eyes. I whited-out some numbers on the ".395 Ruger Max" drawing he did for me, way back when, and wrote in the "26 Ripmoor" specs. Will see if he agrees with those numbers.

    Kiwi Greg, Thanks for the reply. Then the 26 Rip with the shoulder pushed back to caliber length neck, and capacity about 95 grains of water, is about 2 grains less than the 26 Terminator. No want or need to use basic cylindrical brass, aye! Can I ask Dave Kiff at PT&G for a look at...

    Swamplord: Thanks for the reply there, I have seen your 6.5 Prometheus (shortened 6.5/.338LMimp) at AmmoGuide is now... "Interactive"!, and a 6.5/300RCM that were very interesting. But I have fallen in love with a 6.5/.375Ruger, thinking it was somewhat smaller in case capacity than the 26...

    The 6.5 Creedmoor has a "Weatherbyesque" throat: :cool: Parallel-Sided-Free-Bore diameter only .0005" over bullet diameter: 0.2645" Parallel-Sided-Free-Bore length greater than one-half of bullet diameter: 0.1992" Leade Angle: 1.5 degrees. It is gratifying to know that this sort of...

    My new pet wildcat, the 26 Rip, is a WIP: I need to decide on the throating, then get a reamer and gauges, and a supply of barrels for re-barreling (slightly less often than with a 26 Nosler). Riflecrank Internationale Permanente Pet Wildcat Certifying Authority NRA Life Benefactor and...

    What do ya'll think about a 6.5-375 Ruger?

    AH HA! Kiwi Greg actually did it a couple of years ago, not just second-hand hear-say about a guy the internet forum poster knows who did it: http://www.longrangeonly.com/f...1b9f8756b22ed9cb7e96 He called his the "26 Terminator." "It is my version of the 6.5-375 Ruger...

    Anyway, it should be easy to make-do until custom dies are available, but if you are a settler you won't need to bother at all: "Jebediah is plowing his front yard when his son runs out of the house and asks why they can't have DirecTV a wildcat 6.5 CREEDMOST like their modern next-door...

    What do ya'll think about a 6.5-375 Ruger?

    Hi Y'all, New member , first post. I got this 6.5/.375 Ruger "idea", last week, and after making some dummy brass I googled this thread, to see who has done this before. I have abandoned the "6.5 Creedmost" moniker. "6.5/.375 Ruger" or ".264 Ruger" sounds good to me. Here is my dummy work...
