[QUOTE="PEEWEE69, post: 1014334, member: 53999"] It's been awhile since I've posted and been on here. With my daughter being a premy she's taken up most of my time but all is good with her now . So back to hobbies hunting and shooting OK awhile back I posted about building a 30-378 thought that's what I wanted for a long range hunting rifle . Since I had time I did more research into the 30-378 and it got me to thinking if for say I'm set up for 500 plus yrds and target animal comes out at say 150 or less at the velocity the bullet will be traveling at that distance I'm afraid of 1 lack of expansion 2 grenading lack of penetration So my question is is there a bullet I could use as a happy medium or different caliber all together Oh the build will be a stiller predator action krieger barrel 26" # 5 fluted some forms of brake (undecided on brand) jewel trigger also undecided on stock badger ordnance rings and bases with a vortex scope thanks for any input and help [/QUOTE]
