[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 332181, member: 7999"] I had a 30-378 and got away from it because of the brass issue. Too soft, and too expensive. Primer pockets did not hold up well if pushed at all. This was my experience, others I am sure are different. I changed to a 30-338 lap imp. I would have gone to the 300rum when I re-barreled, but the bolt face was too large to accept the 300rum case. Thus I went to the lapua based cartridge. Brass is still very expensive, but seems to last forever. I am very happy with my 30-338 lap imp. Based on your original question, 30-378 or 300rum, I would choose 300rum. If you decide on a different route, I would recommend a 338 lap based cartridge. Steve [/QUOTE]
