[QUOTE="kraky, post: 65340, member: 180"] MY 30-378 is a sako TRG. I wish I knew the 300 rum was around the corner when I bought it. The gun was pretty cheap brand new at about $600--much less than a weatherby but it has a very small recoil lug and it is pretty finicky about what I feed it. It seems to like 150 grain and under bullets. I have run the 125 ballistic tip at about 3700fps with great accuracy out to 400 yds. THAT BEING SAID I would never use the ballistic tip for hunting when the 130 tsx is out there. I would highly recomend you try both bullets---use the ballistic tip for plinking--maybe get them cheap as 2nds from noslers pro shop. Then go hunting with the tsx. The tsx will simply to the job from any angle.....through any deer bone......front to back. The tsx should also have a higher coefficient--probably considerable higher to keep you flatter. If that trophy of a lifetime turns it's rear to you and heads off to the wild blue yonder a texas heart shot with a tsx is not going to be a problem. I would not hesitate to use the 130 tsx on bigger game like elk either. I shot a 6x6 with my 30-378 a few years back with a 150 barnes bt.
