[QUOTE="AlaskaIsGodsCountry, post: 389673, member: 24911"] Thanks for the good information. I have a donor 30/378 action on one of my old wby rifles that is just setting in one of my gun safes. Just like new, as its only has a couple 100 rounds through it. Heck, it even has a new 6.5-20 Mark 4 on it and I've never used it out in the field. Nice shooting rifle for a factory one, but just way too heavy. Maybe I could take this action and start from there. How does the 30/338 Lapua imp. compare ballistically to the 30/378 wby? What is a typical load with a 30/338 Lapua imp and any issues with dies or anything for reloading? What is the case capacity of the 30/338 lapua imp? What barrel length do you suggest as a compromise between effecient utilization of case capacity and practical hunting? Would a 26" barrel to too short, or would you suggest 28"? I am just thinking that anything longer then that and I would start losing some praticality. Thanks again for the good information, it is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
