[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 90840, member: 1208"] I have two Weatherby 338-378 Accumark rifles.I love hunting with them.I know it only has a 26 inch barrel but the next one will be a Krieger 30 " with the Weatherby accubrake on the end.It has very little recoil except for the 300 gr loads with the break on it.I have shot 1/4" groups with the gun at100 yards.I shot a few 1" groups at 300 yards with 250 gr Nosler Partitions and reloader 25.I can only load up to 110 grs of reloader 25 because I get a slight ejector mark then.I usually load 109 grs.I have loaded a few 300 gr Serria bullets with 100 grs of reloader 25.They didnt shoot as good as the nosler bullets but still shot 5/8" or less.The down side of this rifle is the noise with the break.There is also the fact if you dont clean it every 60 shots it will shoot patterns.I thought about a 338 Ultra mag sendero but thats going backwards.There is a 338-378 improved version but thats a bitch.I have gotten at least 10 shots from the brass I used.I bought a bunch of 416 Weatherby and necked it down.I think these Weatherby Accumarks with either a good 5x16 or 6x20 scope are hard to beat for rifles for long range you can actually tote.Its about 9.5 pounds loaded with a Nikon 6.5X20 scope.I use Weaver bases and Burris Signature Zee rings.They didnt move with 1500 shots ojn my 416 rem mag so I figured they would work on here.I usually always use the 250 gr noslers because of bears and its so accurate.Last year the only day I didnt use it I had three grizzleys at 400 yards I could have pegged one easy with the weatherby but let them go with my 338 win mag.I wanted to see if anyone else had one of these rifles.
