[QUOTE="Broz, post: 608979, member: 7503"] I think your gut feeling is good on the 338-378. I would not risk it unless I could drive there with cash to get it. I have owned several 30-378's. A few were factory accumarks. With a bedding job of the front lug area, a trigger tune and a good scope they can be a great rifle. A good friend of mine still has one of these accumarks and we just are in the process of swithing it over from 210 to 230 Bergers. The first thing I noticed is the large case of the 30-378 is a good fit for these bullets. It looks like with H-1000 we are going to be close to 3000 fps with no pressure showing yet. This appears to be a more efficient load than the 210's were. This rifle is a very good shooter to 800 and probably 1000 but we have not done much 1000 yard stuff yet. So with the limited info yo posted I feel this rifle would work well for you. If you came back and say the words ELK and 1000 yards I will suggest you hold out for a 338. The 338-378 can easily be necked down to 30-378, as well as std 378 or 416 or 460 for that matter. I have done the 338-378 but not the others. No neck turning was needed when going from 338 to 30 cal. Jeff [/QUOTE]
