.... I suspect the 378 weatherby basic case loaded to its full potential will kick you like a mule! ...

Hello lancaster,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the 378 WBY MAG cartridge is a real Azz kicker. You better have a firm grip when shooting it.

Nice rifles. The Mews short barrel .378 Weatherby must be brutal to shoot!

I have one Brevex, a G&H in .416 Rigby built in 1982. I can shoot five rounds in a sitting with long pauses in between but that’s about it!

Hello mckinney,
Thanks for the reply.

When you get ready to give that rifle a new home, please let me know. 416 Rigby is my favorite caliber. (I have 5 of them - see below) I'd love to make your G&H 416 Rigby the "lucky 13" in my Brevex collection.

As for the Mews 378, it not much different than the longer barreled Winslow.

Amazing find Buck Stix!
Certainly developed well before its time!
I guess when Woodleigh get up & running again then you would be able to get .411" projectiles from them. Number 40HD on their lists is for the 400H&H which uses the same calibre as well!

Hello 93x64mm,
Thanks for the reply.

Fortunately I have over 600 bullets in 411 caliber. I have some Hornady, Barnes, Woodleigh and Hawk.
