PA seems to be ahead of the curve on things like this. When I was a young man I remember talking to a guy who belonged to a 1,000 yard hunting club in Tioga co. PA. I asked him what cartridge he used and he said it was a .378 Weatherby case necked down to .30 cal. That was before Weatherby introduced the .30-378.
