Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska If you were to have just one caliber ?

needs an 8 twist 30" barrel minimum.... to make use of the case capacity for the heavy high bc bullets, if not hunting at long range (1k) then you don't need it, the 340 Wby will work just fine and Peterson makes brass for it, the 338-378 Wby needs a muzzle brake but the 340 Wby does not

don't have a 338-378 Wby but load ammo for three 30-378 Wby rifles and they all shoot great with crafted handloads, two of them have never had factory ammo through them and none ever will again, they want $169.00 for a box of Hornady crap and I'm not giving red box a red cent for anything anymore

same deal with the 30-378, needs a faster twist 30" plus barrel

If you're wanting to stomp the hell out of big game at the usual hunting distances, the 338-378 will do a damn fine job
