[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2789807, member: 12443"] With no intentions of slighting Kirby Allens gun, i can tell you that with the proper build the 30x378 will produce 3500 fps with a 200 gr bullet because i did it for a very long time. 113 grains of H570, 36” barrel. This was being done in the late 60s with guns built by the late Howard Wolfe on his own custom actions with necked down 378 Wetherby brass. I didnt get one of his guns untill the mid 70s used, and then had him rebarrel it with a new 36” barrel. And ill tell you something else, beyond about 1500 yards, a 338 Big Baer with a 300 gr bullet has already passed the 30x378 with the 200 gr. Which is why mine became a 338 Big Baer. [/QUOTE]
