[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1054085, member: 11717"] Yup Don't get me wrong... I think the 375 Ruger is an awesome case design and very cool to wildcat off of. I in fact started a thread on that very subject in another shooting forum and have considered doing a wildcat or two off of it myself. However, it is not the equal, let alone "decimating" the Lapua. No way. I've browsed through this thread a few times over the last few years just shaking my head. The Lapua has at least 15 gr more capacity than the Ruger. No way on God's green earth are you going to get anywhere near the performance of the Lapua.... no way. Anyone who thinks they can, well I got some ocean front property here in Montana that I'ld like to sell you. As far as efficiency goes, the Lapua is a wide body case, significantly more so than the Ruger, so I don't get the argument that the Ruger has a more efficient design. Anyway, I am not dumping on the Ruger. I think it's a great case because it is a great case.... it just ain't a Lapua. OK, so I said I had considered the 375 Ruger for wildcating but I also considered the Dakota cases which are also very well designed cases and in my not so humble opinion slightly better in design than the Ruger. It's (the 300 Dakota) a little shorter and fatter and the same capacity. The brass is more spendy but of high quality. And so I designed my 270 Montana off the 300 Dakota. One would have to wonder if the Ruger folks took a good long look at the Dakota when they came up with the 375 Ruger. ....some food for thought [/QUOTE]
