And... What thoughts on .30-378 & .338-378 ?

Too much cartridge? Value?

Kind of thinking a .257 for most stuff, and something bigger for, well, bigger stuff.

Thanks, Guy


I've got an Accumark in 30-378. Still developing loads but it shows promise and recoil is quite mild with the muzzle brake. Some find the Accumark heavy but I like the extra 1.5 lbs or so to steady the rifle for long shots. I really like my Accumark 257 Wby for open country deer and hope that the 30-378 will prove as effective for elk.
