Redrill .300-.378 to .378
« on: November 30, 2018, 12:26:26 PM »
Has anyone tried to redrill a .300-.378 accumark barrel to .378? Does the barrel have enough diameter to do this or will it require a whole new barrel? I'm considering building an African Accumark

Welcome to the forum: if Iremember right my 378's had #3 barrels and the 30-378 probably has a #2 unless it is an accumark. Might be more practical to rebarrel.

I don't and haven't owned one but I did look around and I couldn't come up with anything. Still, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to redrill, ream and re-rifle unless you know someone that already has everything necessary to do that. It would be cheaper just to send the action into Weatherby and have a new barrel put on it.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the original question right.

The easiest and wisest thing to do is to have it rebarreled. 
Nothing is better than a Weatherby, big bore magnum, or a Colt.
