30-378 Weatherby ?

Guy Eastman stated in EHJ last year that he was switching over to the .300 Weatherby Magnum.  He said he "used the .30-378, but finding ammo can be a challenge and the rifle is extremely heavy."

Just FYI.

It's a pretty heavy gun, my buddy has one but he does not seem to mind. He just started doing his own reloading because the ammo is so spendy. It's a tack driver too...he got a hand load worked up through the thompson shooting school. The thing is a shooter.

My best friend and life long hunting partner bought a 30-378 last year. I shoot a Sako TRGS chambered in Lazzeroni Warbird (7.82 = .30 cal). My friend has not harvested any animals with the 30-378 yet. But is done tweeking it. He sent his scope in to Leupold to have the long range turrets put on. We have been to the range a few times so far and his rifle in a real shooter. I mentioned my Warbird because between it and the 30-378 they are literally neck and neck ballistics wise. I reload for both of us, so after the initial cost of brass, it really isn't that costly to shoot.

I have the Thompson scope on mine.  If I had to do it over again, i would do the turrets.

It weighs in at 10 lbs
