[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1095542"] I don't have a .375 Ruger and I'm more likely to make a 375/26-Nosler or something close if not a 375 Mjolnir but... Just to play devils advocate.... Without knowing anything about your COAL and barrel length I threw some stuff in QuickLoad and thought about it for a bit. Using published COAL and a 22inch barrel for the model, Reloader-17 is the velocity king at ~2750fps and 4200f# at the muzzle. Almost 100% powder burn. However, IMO this will also be a severe recoil. With all the powder expanding in the length of the barrel the equal and opposite reaction will be abrupt. When I switched the model to Reloader-26, the velocity drops by almost 300fps and the engergy drops by ~800f#. In thinking about it. I wondered, will the recoil be more like a really hard shove than what I expect from "optimal" to be a like a whack in the shoulder from a baseball bat. So, more experienced people. Is there a trade off that is worth losing the velocity/power to gain practicality? Or, just ship it over and I'll use it up in 1 or 2 loads of my 375 design the .375/20mmVulcan (just kidding but I'll take the powder off your hands wink wink) [/QUOTE]
