Handloading for 375 ruger.
 

has anyone tried handloading the 375 ruger? I am thinking about buying one but first want to know how it is to re load.

easy. get some RL 15, some 260 gr accubonds and have at 'er. Very simple cartridge to deal with. Hardest part is trying to find brass...:(

Go over to www.canadiangunnutz.com and ask gatehouse

You will really enjoy loading for this caliber. It is very versatile. I have loaded everything from 87 grain round balls and 245 grain cast bullets over Trail Boss at 900 through 1,800 FPS for plinking and grouse loads, to 220 grain Hornady over 65 grains of 4895 for light deer and target loads to 270 Barne's TSXs over 4831 at 2750 FPS for the serious stuff. The fun part is, if you play with the loads you can get them to hit at the same POI for the various distances you would want to use them. For instance, at 25 yards the cast hits dead centre, at 100 the 220 hits dead centre and at 250 the TSX hits dead centre, all without adjusting the sights.

Outside of the TSX loads, the others have very little recoil, and even the full bore loads are quite nice out of the Ruger. Other advantage is it uses very little powder, compared to many other guns, like my 7 RUM, to achieve pretty impressive performace. Also, unlike the RUM (never download over bore cases or very bad things can happen), it can safely be down loaded to a pop gun for fooling arond with. Best of luck and enjoy the new toy.

W760 works great for my 260gr Accubonds, 300gr round nose and solids, primed with CCI 250 primers.

I NEED BRASS!!!!!

Everyone seems to have "just sold thier last box" just before
I get there :(

You may want to phone Wholesale and get them to ship you a couple of boxes. Thhey had some in the Calgary store yesterday when I was there, only saw one box, and a box of 416 Ruger, but often have more in the "back".

If that doesn't work and you are at the no brass so I can't shoot my gun stage, pm me and we will see if I can help you out.

Good Luck finding RL-15 & brass - When I bought mine I also bought 150 loaded rounds of Hornady Ammo - caught S**t when the credit card statement came home though.

Cool! Thanks Dean.
Hope P&D has some tomorrow!

Later...
