A good friend of mine actually had one of those a long time ago..with the muzzle brake on was mild to shoot..without it..another story..Yes, there truly is too much of a good thing.




Yes, I agree. I personally will not shoot anything that I cannot handle without a muzzle brake. I have never shot the .30-.378 as it is way over bore, something I try to avoid, but I have shot all of the regular Wby cartridges at one point or another. When loaded to full steam...and there is little reason to own a big Weatherby if you are not going to use all of that speed...the .378, .416 and .460 fall into the too much of a good thing.




AS to Weatherby, my all time favorite is the .257 Weatherby..actually had 2 customs built on Rem actions, Hart barrels .. incredible shooters.. fantastic for mule deer and smaller game such an pronghorn.. I settled in on 100Gr Barnes Triple Shocks, which hold up to that velocity.. Have the 100grs moving along at around 3670fps.. devastating effects on game..
