[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 140233, member: 1290"] If you want the biggest 30 cal out there it's the 30-378 all the way. It must have a 30" barrel to fully utilize that big case. The 30-378 brass is built by Norma for Weatherby. I would put it's quality a couple steps up from Remingtons RUM brass. Neither are crap. Both are redily available. My choices for a custom would go in this order. 30-378Wby, 300RUM, 300Wby, give up on the 30 and spend a nickle more for the all time king, the 338AM. There is nothing wrong with the Mark 5 action either. Some gunsmiths don't seem to like them. I think the real reason is they can't make much on them. According to Krieger who works with a lot of Mark 5's they don't usually need anything to square one up. No need for an aftermarket trigger. A $5 spring will let you adjust it down to 6 ounces it that's what you want. The factory magazine box has plenty of room for this case. The cost of factory ammo has never been an issue for me as I can't afford any of it. That's why I have been loading my own since I was 10. [/QUOTE]
