The .375 Remington Ultra Magnum, also known as the .375 RUM is a .375 rifle cartridge introduced by Remington Arms in 2000. The cartridge is intended for large and dangerous game.[1]
It is a beltless, rebated rim cartridge created by necking up the .300 Remington Ultra Magnum case to .375 caliber with no other changes.[1] Factory loadings are less powerful than handloads for the cartridge. Remington factory loads produce 2,760 ft/s (840 m/s)[2] with a 300 grain (19 g) bullet for 5,070 ft·lbf (6.88 kJ) of muzzle energy.
General information
The intended use of this cartridge includes hunting large, thick-skinned game.[1] It is powerful enough to kill any land animal[1] and, with its high velocity, can do so at fairly long ranges. Such performance comes at the price of a heavy recoil: in a sporting-weight rifle of ~8 lb (3.6 kg), this cartridge can produce a fierce 80 ft·lbf (108 J) of recoil (approximately 3.5 times that of a .30-06.)
There is a wide selection of .375 in (9.53 mm) bullets available[1][2][3] that are suited to the high velocities of the .375 RUM, and boat tail bullets help to further extend the useful range.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Currently, there are no production rifles in this chambering (Savage & Remington previously did so.) Remington,[2] DoubleTap[4] and Nosler[3] are the only sources of factory ammunition. Loading dies and reloading data are readily available to the handloader. Double Tap loads to the specifications attributed to handloader limits.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
