Details

Hornady’s .375 Ruger Dangerous Game ammunition is designed for big game and dangerous game hunting. It features a 300 grain DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) Bonded bullet, engineered to expand controllably while maintaining integrity for deep penetration. This bullet construction is crucial for hunting large, thick-skinned animals. The cartridge achieves a muzzle velocity of 2660 fps and generates 4713 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, providing the necessary power and flat trajectory for taking down large game at various distances. With a ballistic coefficient of .275 and sectional density of .305, the bullet maintains downrange velocity and offers excellent penetration. This ammunition is suitable for hunting Cape buffalo, elephants, bears, and other large game. It’s designed to perform reliably in challenging hunting situations where stopping power and penetration are crucial. The .375 Ruger cartridge offers performance similar to the .375 H&H Magnum but in a shorter case length, compatible with standard-length actions. Each box contains 20 rounds. Users should note that this powerful ammunition generates significant recoil and is best suited for experienced hunters using appropriate firearms.
