[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 13042, member: 2736"] Bigbear. While Looking for a for a rifle for elk & bear I decided on a Accumark in 30x378. The Weatherby never let me down with factory or reloads in the 180 & 200gr loading. The down side was that the muzzle blast was unbearable requiring ear plugs for hunting. Sooooo-- Like Hoyteman I elected to screw a 28" #7 tapered tube with no muzzle brake to cure this condition. With the heavy barrel felt recoil is good and velocity and accuracy are better. In fact the 200gr hand load exceeds 3500ftps using H50BMG I like Hoyteman,s idea about a 34" tube. The reason I chose the 28" was to keep the overall length about the same as the Accumark with muzzle brake. This rifle is heavy but steady when hunting and will outshoot me. The answer to your statement is "Me To". J E CUSTOM [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
