The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 378 Weatherby Magnum was introduced by Roy Weatherby in 1953. It is essentially based on a belted version of the big 416 Rigby case, thus requires an extra-large "magnum" action. Performance is spectacular, with a 270-grain bullet at 3180 feet per second and a 300-grain bullet at 2925, yielding, respectively, 6062 and 5701 foot-pounds of energy. Recoil is also spectacular, both hard and fast, but for those able to withstand it the 378 Weatherby has trajectory similar to a 270 Winchester with the energy of a true big-bore. In its infancy it was probably too fast for the bullets then available, but with modern bullets it is fully adequate for the largest game, yet flat-shooting enough for all hunting conditions. Weatherby has been the primary supplier of both rifles and ammunition. —
