I am sure I'll catch some grief but i currently use my 30-378 with 210gr bergers  due to switching my mindset to more of a 2 rifle set up, using the 30-378 for EVERYTHING colorado and below and a 375 for everything above colorado. What I've used in the past was a 270 Ackley improved with various 140 and 150 grain pills and a 7mm rem mag with 175 and 180 grain pills.

Just the same reason many people use a 12 ga instead of a 20 ga.  Reaches out further and kills 'em deader.

Update: 257 Wby with 100 grain Swift Scirocco II. Dead right there.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

Every man needs to know his limits.
