[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 915529, member: 1290"] The barrel on a Weatherby goes on and off just like a lug nut on a truck. No harder than anything else. I believe most 30-378's built in the last 15 years came with a muzzle brake that does a pretty good job. I have no trouble with the larger 338-378 even with 300 grain bullets. The Weatherby barrel has a relief cut at the end of the threads up against the barrel. If you try to set it back it won't have much threads left. I agree with JE, just run the 30-378 like it is but I would use heavier bullets 200 grain and up. [/QUOTE]
