Picked up a TC compass thirty-ought-six took it out to the range today with a 165 grain Nosler ballistic tips at 2850 with h4350 can't complain at all!!! Then that glamorous 378 bee!!! What a gem. An elephant gun that shoots like a varmint gun! This is a 4 shot group with 270 grain Barnes lrx in my 378 WEATHERBY. and look at the velocity to boot well over 6,000 foot-pounds of energy ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/0v160vrl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/T5kZdkGl.jpg)

You're lying. It is common knowledge that no one can shoot a magnum that well.  I'd be pretty happy, too. Using them this fall?

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

That 378 is a wicked sob. How’s the recoil?😎. Asking for the guys that ain’t had the chance yet.

You need to take that over to Africa for a cape buffalo. Or maybe to AK for a grizzly. You helped me with my reloading of the 375 Ruger for my AK hunt. Bob

I belong to the Cheyenne chapter of Hunting with heroes and we take many disabled veterans out for hunts on donated tags. Some are in a bad way and don't own any guns. The 378 will go for moose when I draw a tag or Africa when I retire.

Fred. The muzzle brake made by gunsmith Scott Weichel rox. Very little recoil.

My 30/06 loved it, the bull not so much. Hope you draw the tag. Bob

You could try the king of 2 mile with that rig...
Have you done any screwing around the ELR yet... like doing a scope dial up test (tall target test as Brian calls it)... to find out how far off you dial is.
I’m doing that for PRS, but it only gets worse the further you shoot.
