My friend I wholeheartedly disagree! Were it indeed outmoded as a design why are there so many relied upon cartridges extant which owe their very existence to it, and further which are agreed upon as 1st class cartridges? The 416 Rem Mag, the 458 Win Mag and the 458 Lott to name but three.
Any M70 can be chambered in the 375 H&H as the action length is the same in the Classic series whether 270 338 or 375. it matters not.
and do some research - there exist threads here where posters are discussing feeding and ejection issues with their 375 and 416 rugers. in a properly tuned action I suspect it happens less with the 375 due to its design which causes it to canter in slightly toward the feed ramp ensuring smooth feeding.
for the moment can you at least tell what makes the ruger design "better" as you say and what criteria you use to arrive at your conclusion?
have to do some work but will check for a response later. i'm certainly enjoying the conversation.
