[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 893682, member: 51650"] AKBman Long loaded ammo does not always work in 375 Ruger. OAL to jammed in my chamber is: 300 gr Nosler AB: 3.548" 260 gr Nosler AB: 3.548 [U]260 gr Nosler Partition:[/U] 3.331" (shorter than SAAMI Max COAL) 300 gr Sierra SpBT: 3.475" 300 Hornady SpBT: 3.510" (discontinued) 270 gr Speer SpBT: 3.557" Long loaded rounds can jam the rifling so do a depth measurement first. Nosler warns to deep seat the 260 Partition in most chambers. My COAL to the crimp groove w/ that bullet is 3.300" w/ cases trimmed to 2.580" for a jump of 0.031" so mine is okay. My detachable mag measures 3.490" inside so I can load to about 3.425" w/ no crimp groove bullets. TomSD Since you listed "338" I assume that is the WinMag and not the 340 WbMag. My vote is 300 WbMag as a friend had one and I helped him develop truly impressive ammo for it. It does not give much up to the RUM so I would go there. Passed up a Winchester Stainless/Synthetic in 300 Weatherby last year. I always wanted that exact set up (hence my choice).
