[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 3063387, member: 123496"] Nailed it. As someone who relies on factory ammo, I appreciate these 'new cartridges' that offer performance closer to handloads in factory rifles. I do believe there is advantages for the reloader as well with the tighter freebore tolerances etc, but your comment that there is less of an advantage to reloading than with traditional cartridges seems apt. Like you, I don't understand the angst towards these cartridges that 'don't do anything my blank has been doing since 1960'. These cartridges do offer out of the box accuracy at distance previously unseen. As far as 375, I preferred the theoretical advantages of the Ruger cartridges, but decided to go with the 375 H&H instead. The storied history, ammo availability, ease of feeding of the H&H swayed me for use in a DG rifle in Africa. At traditional hunting ranges, the advantages of the Ruger cartridges in a shorter barreled rifle weren't enough to make a difference to me. Different strokes! Happy St. Patricks day! [/QUOTE]
