Default RE: Whetherby .30 378

So far I have shot that group TWO times.
You posted

I have shot two groups with that load, the other was about 1 inchto 1.25
The other group was up to 1.25",it was not 3/4".

If I were on here telling you how wellI was shooting my .270 or my 30-06 at that range, the replies would be nice shooting, keep up the good work, but since I own a 30-378 this is all I hear.
You must not have read my previous posts or you would have read that I have owned a 30-378 and I currently own two 300ultramags.I also stated that I have fired a .080" group at 100 yards with one of the ultramags but I certainly don't claim that the gun is a .080" gun since I have not repeated that group.In fact both of my 300ultramags shoot groups averaging 5/8" at 100 yards so I call them 5/8" guns.Since I own two 300 ultramags myself,I obviously don't have an issue with the big magnums.My issue is that people that buy them think that they suddenlybecome long range shooters.It takes a great deal of practise to be able to consistantly be accurate at 500 yards reguardless of the gun and cartridge that you use.If you aren't willing to practise,the big magnums are a waste.
