The 375 Ruger!

More power, is extremely accurate, is flatter shooting and you have the luxury, if you ever choose to, to shorten the barrel down a little from your 23" down to 20" (more handier), while still equaling and surpassing 375 H&H ballistics from its longer barrel.

Since its intro, no other cartridge in recent history has grown in popularity so quickly as the 375 Ruger. And with more time, that trend will continue world wide along with more factory ammo becoming available in Africa.

From Gatehouse`s 375 Ruger Alaskan w/20" tube posted over in the "ask the gunwriters" section, his load of RL17 gave him 2700+ fps using a 300 grain Nosler. I`ll have to try RL17 myself in my own 375 Ruger Alaskan. The 250s and 260s will either close in on the 3000 fps mark or attain it. Excellent flat shooting at the longer ranges for African plains game ahould that need to to pass.

If you keep your barrel at 23", then the 375 Ruger will definately be an awesome cartridge, just about equaling the 375 Wby and approaching the more powerful 375 RUM.

The 9.3 is a very good round, but it isn`t a 375 Ruger.
