[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 896504, member: 2460"] When I started this project I looked at the 375 Ruger and was not impressed as it did nothing more than duplicate the 375 H&H, I wanted more capacity ! The 375 Ruger case is longer and has a shorter neck but with less case capacity and requires deep seating of bullets further reducing valuable powder space, and you are stuck with Hornady brass ! If you take an 8x68s case and maximize its dimensions you will basically recreate the 375 Ruger ballistics and end up with better brass too ! The 375 PRO has a shorter case length, case is fatter offering more powder capacity, and is designed so bullets are seated to base of neck not impacting powder space, Norma made brass is much better and can use 338 Lapua brass cut down (working that process out now, a bit of work but is do-able) that there offers more brass options as several other manufacturers make 338 Lapua brass besides Lapua It all comes down to how much power you want, I wanted a bit more than what a HOT loaded 375 Ruger could ever produce [/QUOTE]
