What is .375 rum?

The .375 Rum is not a generally recognized or standardized cartridge in the firearms or ammunition industry. It's highly likely that ".375 Rum" is a misunderstanding, a typo, or a custom/wildcat cartridge. Therefore, providing definitive information is challenging without more context.

It is possible "Rum" refers to "RUM," which stands for Remington Ultra Magnum. Therefore, the user may have meant a .375 caliber cartridge based on the Remington Ultra Magnum case.

If it exists, a hypothetical .375 RUM would likely share characteristics with other large-bore, magnum cartridges designed for long-range shooting and hunting of large or dangerous game. This would imply:

  • High Velocity: Cartridges based on the RUM case are designed to deliver projectiles at high velocities, resulting in a flat trajectory and increased downrange energy. See the concept of velocity.
  • Significant Recoil: The combination of a heavy bullet and a large powder charge would generate substantial recoil. Consider the significance of Recoil in magnum rounds.
  • Long-Range Performance: A .375 RUM would be intended for accurate shooting at extended distances. Learn about Long-Range%20Performance of different calibers.
  • Hunting Applications: Likely suitable for taking large and dangerous game animals at longer distances. This is useful to understand when determining Hunting%20Applications of cartridges.

Without more specific details, it's impossible to provide accurate data on bullet weight, velocity, energy, or typical applications. Consulting with experienced wildcat cartridge enthusiasts or custom gunsmiths might yield further information. Always confirm any wildcat specifications with reputable sources before attempting to load or fire such a cartridge.
