Load data for caliber ".375 Ruger"
The 375 Ruger is a rifle cartridge developed by Ruger and Hornady in 2007. It is a beltless, rimless, bottlenecked cartridge with a bullet diameter of .375 inches (9.5 mm) and a case length of 2.580 inches (65.5 mm).The 375 Ruger was designed to provide hunters with a powerful and versatile cartridge that can handle a wide range of game, from large African plains game to North American big game such as elk, moose, and brown bear. The cartridge is capable of firing heavy, high-BC bullets at high velocities, resulting in excellent long-range performance and terminal ballistics.
Compared to other cartridges of similar power, the 375 Ruger has a shorter overall length, making it well-suited for use in lightweight and compact rifles. However, the cartridge still generates significant recoil, which may be uncomfortable for some shooters.
Overall, the 375 Ruger has gained a reputation as a highly capable and versatile cartridge for big game hunting, and it has become popular among hunters who value its power, accuracy, and versatility.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
