.375 Ruger Earns Industry Awards
Hornady Mfg. won the 2007 Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence “Ammunition of the Year” Award for developing the new .375 Ruger cartridge. Ruger’s M77® rifles in caliber .375 Ruger likewise won the Shooting Industry “Rifle of the Year” Award for 2007. Each year the Academy, consisting of over 300 manufacturers, writers, distributors, and retailers, vote to honor innovative product designs.
Hornady claims that the .375 Ruger matches the performance of the legendary .375 H&H, with a cartridge size that fits a standard 30-06 length action. According the Hornady, the .375 Ruger is the “smoothest feeding dangerous game cartridge on the market.” We have information from inside sources that Hornady and Ruger will be developing spin-off versions of the .375 Ruger cartridge in smaller calibers. Expect new .30-caliber and 7mm cartridges, based on .375 Ruger brass, to be introduced at Shot Show 2008.

A .30 cal based on the .375 Ruger! It’s called the .30 Newton, invented in 1912.
I prefer fusion ammunition in my M77 .30-06 over any other type. heavier bullets means more punch.
This youth hunt i got a nuce 8 point and the doe standing right next to it using fusion ammunition
What about the Dakota cartridges they have been around for a while and fit into a standard action? From 7mm up to 458 dia. Not much different from the 375 Ruger.
