[QUOTE="budlight, post: 105464, member: 2939"] [b]Re: Comments on HOT 7mm\'s[/b] To the Poster - As the proud owner of a 30-378 I can say that it's not a good candidate for .284 It's all a balancing act between how much powder you burn to get a high velocity and how long the barrel will last. I think that the 7UM and the 30UM with sub 100 grain cases are about the top all around performers with sub 30 inch barrels. I own a wild cat 7mm STW. Wonderful elk gun with it's 28 inch target barrel. Just a side note. Muzzle blast and heat is the only negative aspect of a 30-378. Well my friends have said that even with the brake it really kicks with max loaded 200+ grain bullets and the 240's are really bad. When the barrel goes I think that the next go around it will become a 338-378 with a 30 inch barrel [/QUOTE]
