[QUOTE="BGbasbhat, post: 262402, member: 15356"] Bajabill I arrived at this caliber for a couple reasons. First, this hunt is probably not going to be a frequent trip for me (unfortunately). So, I didn't want to buy a gun that I would only have the opportunity to use once or twice. For example, the .33s or the .375s would be ideal for grizzly; but I would only be able to use it for bear/moose/elk... None of which I could see myself hunting more than once or twice in my lifetime. I figured a beefy .30 would be enough for grizz; but would also have the versatility for deer or anything else; which I would be able to hunt for almost every year. Second, I wanted a caliber that was unique. Everybody and their dog has a 300winmag/rum/wsm, and they are fantastic calibers. But as a personal preference, I wanted something different. I am planning to handload, so factory ammo availability/price for a unique caliber is somewhat irrelevant.... Third, I liked the Mark V action of the weatherbys. I was attracted to the strength, pull, and the uniqueness of it's design. Being that I'm more of a speed/flat/smaller cal fan, the 30-378 offered the speed, power, versatility, uniqueness, and action that I wanted.........now if I can only save up the $!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
