[QUOTE="Broz, post: 509205, member: 7503"] I trim my 30-378 Brass to 2.900" and the OAL for this load is 3.800" which just fits in an Accumark mag box without binding. But check because this might be close and you want to be sure they don't bind durring feeding. If they do go to 3.790" I recently took a coyote with one 210 Berger at 1008 yards. But it was fired from a 300 Win at 2995 fps. So you will have a bit more velocity from the 30-378. The exit was only about 1 1/2". I took my last Bull at 803 yds, also with the 300 win. complete pass through and a 2" ~ 3" exit. As I stated before, we have taken loads of game with 210 Bergers. On an antelope or a yote under 800 if you hit bone you will most likely have a good sized exit hole. But for your wolf , they have long hair and easily sewn up.
