Per a post elsewhere, back in stock at MidwayUSA and Graf & Sons. Graf & Sons does show it in stock as of a few moments ago.

My take, individual mileage may vary: The energy number is useless if it does not convert into, displayed penetration and tissue destruction / permanent relocation. If the bullet is up to the task, usually velocity increases that. Though, at some point some bullets seem to have a sweet spot of...

Yesterday. Trial loads for 45-70 with 380 gr Lehigh WFN Solid.

The 338 Winchester is one of my favorites. I also have a particular rifle in 338 Winchester. A buddy of mine said something similar to, that 338 just flat out kills stuff. I agree, with a proper bullet. It would still be my choice if I were a one rifle hunter for North American type game...

It has been maybe a year since I loaded the LRX 375 Ruger. I don't recall, but guessing with the H380 and my slightly longer COL I am compressed some. I use a Lee Factory Crimp, regardless of groove location. Though, I do not recall my loads being a rememberable compression event. I would...

I have been using H380 from Barnes reloading book / and online info, for the 270 grain TSX and LRX. My COL is a bit longer than theirs. I get ~ 2720 fps from a 20" barrel. The Speer #15 Manual list RL 16 with their 270 & 285 grain bullets. Of course, one would have to proceed with due caution...

One point where it will differ from the New Haven production is the trigger. The older production has the original type open style trigger. The after New Haven production has the MOA, box style triggers.

The 375 H&H and the 375 Ruger have the same SAAMI Maximum Average Pressure of 62,000 psi. The Ruger has a slightly larger case capacity.

This was what first attracted my attention to the 375 Ruger. No regrets. I have and had prior to the 375 Ruger, plenty of 375 H&H's in various barrel lengths blued and stainless. The 20" stainless 375 Rugers are my favorite .375 rifle/cartridge combination. The same applies for me regarding the...

I cannot speak to the ruggedness / longevity, but optically and field of view I am a fan. I have the non-illuminated Gen 2 Plex. The first generation of the Plex was definitely too thin for my liking. I am a fan of 1st focal plane #4's, but have no problem with the Gen 2 Plex.

I have pre- buyout McMillan, Bell & Carlson, and H-S Precision. No complaints with any of them. The H-S Precision stocks, I have ordered directly from them specifically for LOP, Decelerator pad, if front sling was wanted or deleted, and what type of paint scheme. The H-S Precisions on the...

I have a few Swarovski and Kahles products that I really like. The 1.7-10x42 Plex gen2, the 1-6x24 EE illuminated, and the normal eye relief 1-6x24's illuminated and non-illuminated. The Kahles Helia C non-illuminated 1.1-4x24 and 1.5-6x42 are still some of my favorites. Simple 1st Focal...

My favorite "big" scopes top out at 10x with a 42mm objective. I do have a couple with 50mm objectives, but for my use any advantage goes mostly unseen. Everyone has their own hunting style, terrain, etc.

You may want to change your password. I had that happen.

I think the 270 Winchester would be hard to beat for your intended purposes.
