[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 139187, member: 1290"] In my experience the 30-378 really needs a much longer barrel to burn all that powder. I'm thinking the reason you are not getting much recoil is that it really is not shooting much faster than a regular 300Wby. My 300 Wby has an Accubrake and it is almost recoiless too. Yes the other is a 338-378. It does have a respectable but very managable recoil. We are getting 225's TSX's out at 3330 fps. Like most Weatherby's, it would do a lot better in a 30" barrel. Weatherby's are no harder to load for than any other factory round. All you need is an RCBS Rock Chucker kit and a set of dies. It will pay for it's self on your third or fourth box of shells.
