[QUOTE="venom725, post: 1020119, member: 86144"] Is fun but , not always true because if we take same bullet weight the 375 ruger will have most straight trajectory them a 338 lapua , we have try 338 lapua with 285 gr boat tail bullet vs 375 ruger with 300 gr flat nose bullet and at 500 yards the 338 lapua drop of 43" and the 375 ruger only 32" ... so a little more than 10" higher . and 375 rum are better than that , 338 lapua magnum are good but not best . In many case we try the 375 ruger beat with flater trajectory than the 338 lapua , I wanted to prove at one of my friend i can shoot same thing and same trajectory if not best of is 2800$ lapua magnum . And i make it , and many other wanted to try it and make it too , with a boat tail bullet in 375 ruger we can have only 28" or 25" of drop at 500 yards . Velocity are about same thing . And just to compare the two bullet use , 338 lapua mag 285 gr bt bullet was BC.352 , and SD .356 , and 375 ruger 300 gr flat nose have bc.275 , SD .305 the bullet of 375 ruger are supposed to not go very far , but is fly more straight than the 338 lapua bullet . and is not the better bullet for long range , is a close range bullet . so if a close range bullet do it vs a long range 338 lapua bullet , what gonna do a long range bullet for 375 . and if compare it both 250 gr bullet , 375 ruger will drop at 23" at 500 yards , and 338 lapua mag 35" at 500 yards . again bullet in lapua was boat tail , in ruger flat tail with semi spitzer nose .. I talk about my 416 rigby , my rigby with 400 gr DGX make 28" drop at 500 yards with enough power to kill a big moose or grizzly bear . just for compare , my favorite Caliber the .45-70 govt , with my 300 gr hard cast buller will drop 54" at 500 yards . little more trouble to get on the paper . I make it , i be able to get a 18" steel gong at 670 yards with , the most far i shoot with this old baby . but not have trouble to shoot 375 ruger at this distance . and the 375 ruger are cheaper than 338 lapua , 375 ruger cost me same thing than my .45-70 brass . so is cheap enough to reload a couple hundred ammo for recreation shooting [/QUOTE]
