[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2056278, member: 103996"] All I know about the 30-378 is that it loves the slowest burning powders you can find. I know a guy that shoots one, and I asked him for some info on it when I considered buying a 30-378. He ended up talking me out of it. However, he said the 2 best results he had was with Retumbo and US 869. Downside with 869 is the terrible temp stability, but if you usually shoot with the same temps (like for me, most all my shooting is done between 20 and 40 degrees) then it’s not such a big deal. But, since you have it... I suggest you try the 250gr A Tips. Those are the bullets that made me consider a 30-378 in the first place. Crazy velocity from 30-378, really high BC bullets, and with good lot consistency from the way they’re packaged. So if you decide to shoot the 30-378, try the 250’s and let us know how it works for ELR! I haven’t found anyone that’s posted about that combo yet, and I feel like it could be killer. [/QUOTE]
