[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1849669, member: 2736"] What you will need is a cartridge that will hold lots of powder and a barrel long enough to burn all that powder. I would recommend a 30/378 Weatherby cartridge In front of a strong action like the Mark 5, and a heavy straight tapered 30+" barrel. you can shoot the cases once and size only enough to use the shoulder to head space on instead of the belt to save the brass. If you improve the 30/378 case powder volume can be increased to around 140 grain powder capacity. The 30 x 338 Lapua improved is a great cartridge but the powder capacity will not compare to the 378's so if velocity is what you want, it would be a good choice in my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
