I was going through all of the 'stuff' that has accumulated on top of my safes and came across a stack of empty boxes. Some of them seemed a bit heavy.
Eight boxes of new 30-378 Weatherby brass.
Anyone ever try cast in a 30-378?

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I imagine a filler will be required......... Best, Thomas.
Just googled this cartridge. First to get 10 of 10 in the 10X at 1,000 yds. Slow dense powders got it to over 6,000 fps. I bet those barrels didn't last long. Designed to pierce armor with speed.

Supposedly the 30-378 was Weatherby's answer to a government request for the ultimate sniper rifle.
Wow! Looks like 12ga shotgun shells! I bet that is one honkin' round!

.308, 30-06, 375H-H, and 30-378 Weatherby. 106grains of powder behind a 165gr Barnes X bullet. Works extremely well on mule deer.
It would probably work pretty well on a rhino too. Looks like one hard hitting round.
That is not possible. 6000 fps.Originally Posted by farmerjim

Not sure that the J-word Boolit would EVEN get to the target, just spin apart...

"I don't save money reloading. I just get to shoot more."
Weatherby website has a 165gr ballistic tip at 3500fps muzzle velocity (4488ft-lb). Wikipedia claims the 6000fps mark was achieved back in 1959 during testing for the army.
Maybe a copper clad tungsten bullet.
Now I know what new gun to get for white tail. Mhooohoohohohhhaaaahahaha
At 500+ yards...
wow... serious firepower
Anybody interested in forming a hunter/killer group with JWT to hunt down rogue Abrams tanks?Hehehe.

I read it on the internet, it has to be true.

A friend of mine owns a game preserve for pheasants, etc. He and his boys hunt caribou every year way up in Hudson Bay country. One of his boys bought a 30/378 Weatherby and practiced with it out to 750 yards (length of the preserve) using Barnes and Nosler bullets. He settled on Barnes for his load at 165 grains. That Fall he was dropping caribou with 1 shot instantly at a stepped off 600 yds. He had to be careful that there weren`t 2 animals in a row when he fired. Of course there was an exit hole half the size of Rhode Island on the exit side.Robert
why does 6000 fps sound like its impossible?
my railgun goes several hundred miles per second.
Mozeppa, is that an electromagnetic rail gun?
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
