[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 915170, member: 2736"] Most barrels can be set back about one thread without weakening it, but I don't recommend any more than that for the big magnums. Some cartridges require to much set back to re use a factory barrel with the factory contour (Custom barrels normally have more shank and removal of the entire shank is possible). The 30/378 is a great round and all it would cost you to find out how well it shoots is a box of ammo. I would recommend the 180s because recoil will be brisk with the factory barrel and rifles weight. (Probably why the guy sold it). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
