[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1109406, member: 13110"] I have a 30-378 Weatherby Imp. and a 30-338 Lapua improved along with a couple 30-338 Norma Imp's, 30-8mm mags, a 308 Baer, and a 300wm for .30 caliber magnums. I would take WildRose's advise. The recoil from the larger two is significantly higher. My 30-338 Norma Imp uses 91grs of R-33 with a 230 Berger while my 30-338 Lapua Imp. uses 112grs of WC873 with a 230 Berger. 21 grains more powder adds quite a bit more recoil and the 30-378 Imp uses even more. The velocity is quite a bit higher from the big boys, to the tune of up to 200fps, but with the added recoil I tend to grab my 30-338 Norma Imp. when it's time to go shooting. It doesn't hurt that it regularly shoots in the .2's and under at 100yds. [/QUOTE]
