What's the bore diameter on that Bad Boy?Here's a picture of me and my friend loading some of those new Pyrodex pellets into one of ours. Sort of long range.

Get the barrel threaded for a suppressor and then you will be set.
Nothing fancy just a Savage 116 in 338-375 Ruger.
Pushing 250's just over 3022 fps. Starting to see signs of pressure at those speeds. My favorite load right now is Berger 250gr Elite Hunters, 76.8gr of h4350 and it's pretty promising , no pressure signs and hitting right at 2985fps. It should speed up a bit more as she breaks in. Groups are about 3/4" moa. Not to bad for a gun I built and put together on my bench.Wow! That aught to throw a good, heavy bullet pretty darn fast!
For quite a while I pondered doing a 300-375 Ruger or a 30 Newton.
(I did neither)
But these days I have a new bolt action that I'm hoping will turn out to be as accurate as my Ruger is. So far, We're not there... I've harbored lust for the Pre 64 Model 70 for a very long time and finally bought this 1952 version in 30-06. This one's the second with the first being a Lightweight of the same vintage. I want this to be a "do it all", including my interpretation of long range hunting.
What ever the case it's now a pretty nice rifle and will take care of business at any normal hunting distance. Now that it's properly bedded into the stock I'll start stretching it's legs soon.

That's some power right there! Sounds like a great elk cartridge.Pushing 250's just over 3022 fps. Starting to see signs of pressure at those speeds.

I'm glad that Hornady came out with the 300 PRC (300-375 Ruger) I think these 375 Ruger based cartridges are way underrated. Maybe Hornady will get smart and bring the 338-375 out as the 338 PRC.
AI green is awesome.
