I have been shooting the 30-378 since 2005 excellent flat shooting hard hitting round. Have taken elk,mule deer and whitetail out to 600 yards no problem. Grandchildren are using it now and arguing about who is going to get it when I am gone.

Have a MK V in 30-378 set up by Long Range Hunters in WY with a Huskama scope using the 165gr TXS.for my South Dakota 1000 yard rifle. Less than 1′ groups at 200 yards and ground pounds everything. I’ve used it to take whitetail out to a half mile with zero misses and dropped in their tracks. Luckily I purchased five boxes of ammo with gun (when ammo was $15 cheaper) and still have 3+ boxes left after LRH used 14 rounds to set up rifle, 6 on deer and the rest for practice.

I have been trying to purchase Weatherby 30-378 130 grain TTSX ammo for months. Why is it so difficult to find? If it’s not available at Weatherby.com, there’s a problem.
