$400 would be money well spent if you just have it laying around. If there's a question of "need" then leave it alone. You have an H&H.......the Ruger won't do anything the H&H won't except raise eyebrows and generate questions. More new guns are always better. But you've got the heavy-medium bases well covered already.

True that!!
He's also the same guy that realizes very soon that he won't shoot much unless he has oil wells or he reloads.
The person who buys a .375 Wby. can walk out of that store with that box of H&H and still have a darned fine big game hammer..............and a piece .375 Weatherby brass every time he pulls the trigger.
Did you know??
That, in Weatherby factory ammo ballistics with 300 gr. bullets, the .375 Wby. hits harder and drops less from 150 yards on out than does the .378 Wby.???
It's a B.C. thing is what it is. But, even at the muzzle, the .375 only lacks about 475 ft/lbs of equalling the .378's energy.
A real man can take his pick hehe.
That's exactly what it is.Unless you're talking about two different bullets being fired, this would be a wonder of modern ballistics!
Notice, I said, "Weatherby factory ammo ballistics with 300 gr. bullets".

They load the .375 Wby with the 300 gr. Partition with a B.C. that whoops up on the .378 Wby 300 gr. offerings.
It's not new math. It's old physics.
Actually, it's not hard to get 2800 fps from a 300 grainer in the .375 Roy. All it takes is some AA-4350 and a 26" barrel.The .378 can push a 300gr to 3000fps. While super impressive, thats probably enough to make me flinch...lol The .375's reloading data says 2700fps for a 300gr. Thats a hefty jump in speed.
With 6000ft/lbs of ME, that's some pretty big shoes for the .375 to try and fill. I think of those two guns, as identicle twins, and one just ate more as a child
No way to push 6000 ft/lbs in the .375, though. That's strictly .378 territory.
I'm just sayin'........................No fair doing the old apples n' oranges thing!
Take it up with Roy's boys, I guess. They're the ones who loaded apples in one round and oranges in the other.
