The .300, .338, .375 family of Remington American Magnums was designed by Aleksandr Kolesnikov of Houston, Texas, USA in February 2010. This was a response to the .375 Ruger. It is based upon the .300 RUM case, shortened to 2.580" to fit into Standard length Remington 700 action (firearm), while maximizing powder capacity by using .550" case diameter instead of Ruger's .532".

abstract
| - The .300, .338, .375 family of Remington American Magnums was designed by Aleksandr Kolesnikov of Houston, Texas, USA in February 2010. This was a response to the .375 Ruger. It is based upon the .300 RUM case, shortened to 2.580" to fit into Standard length Remington 700 action (firearm), while maximizing powder capacity by using .550" case diameter instead of Ruger's .532". The RAM case family provides nearly the same performance as the RUM while generating less recoil and using less costly "standard" model 700 actions, rather than more expensive "magnum" actions. This offers a power level between the RUM and WSM cases, while employing sturdy, accurate, plentiful, relatively inexpensive 700 actions.
