The bolt face for a .375 Ruger is a standard .532", same as any H&H based belted magnum. It's basically an H&H belted case with the case body starting out as big as the belt on the H&H. I don't know if the mag is any longer than their other long action 3.4" magazines (I doubt it) but it should fit any of the older belted magnum rounds like a .338 Win Mag, .300 Win. Mag, 7mm Remington mag or .264 Win Mag, all of which have a max OAL of 3.34" or less. The only thing up in the air is the shape of the feed rails. Being as the case body is fatter up front than belted magnums Ruger may or may not have altered the rails to feed that case better.

If you have the empty brass and a bullet you could always make up a dummy round of whatever you want to try the feeding.

Built a 330 Dakota on a stainless one. 25" Douglas stainless. Feeds and shoots great. Just need something bigger to shoot with it than deer. The smaller calibers are working too well.

Thanks:)

As a side note I just ordered a Lyman 375449 mold, .377 sizer, some gas checks, and the correct top punch. Going to cast some bullets out of Lyman #2 and see how they shoot out of my Alaskan.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
