I think it's a safe bet that the opposite is the case.
The 375 Ruger is hardly sold outside the US and Canada. As big as that market may be - at least in Europe there are still thousands of 9,3x64 being used. Looking at an online platform for used guns for Germany only, there at least a dozen 9,3x64 bolt actions for sale at any time.
Pretty sure there are quite a few spread all over Africa as well. In Russia it is used by the military as a sniper cartridge. Cheap ammo available from there.

Just my 50 cents.


According to Ruger they sold 8000 375 Ruger rifles the very first year. I sincerely doubt there have been half that many 9.3x64's ever built but I would love to see your statistics. Additionally sales of the 375 Ruger have been strong every years since it's introduction.
