34 in. barrell .30-.378 Weatherby, tips ?

I live in Huntington Beach Ca (sea level) but my local range is 500-1000 ft elevation. I have property in Idaho that is 4500 ft. I have my own 1200 (may be extending to 1500) yard range there.

I ran the numbers and the ballistics are almost impossible to believe. 16.6 moa at 1000 yards, 3.1 moa windage on a 10 mph cross wind ! supersonic to 2700 yards!

If the BC is truly that high, and they are accurate, they are amazing.

I have already contacted the bullet maker.

If you send me 10 of the 210's I will tell you if they stabilize in my .30-.378. I will be going to Idaho later this month for a 5 day shooting trip to my range. I also have a 300 Weatherby (10 twist) 5/5 pac-nor, .925. Shoots well.

They all are extremely accurate but I am most impressed with the 220s... On the BC, we will have sea level numbers next week (delays due to a faulty scope).

The 10" twist guns have all liked the 180s. And, I have alerted the bulletsmith that you would probably be contacting him to test stabilization out of your 10" twist 30/378.
