After work this evening, a buddy of mine let me shoot his 'sledgehammer'. That's what he calls his .378 Weatherby. Unfortunately, I didn't think to get a picture of his rifle. It was a Mark V with a synthetic stock. I'm not sure if it was a Bell & Carlson or a HS Precision stock. He ordered it from Weatherby with a mercury tube in the stock.
To date, this is the largest cartridge I've ever shot. I only shot it twice, but it was a lot of fun. It really put the hurt on a gallon jug of water at about 150 yards. I was surprised at the audible smack when I annihilated it .
I would have shot it a bit more, but it was late and I know those rounds are costly. I'm gonna have to pick up a box of ammo for my buddy so I can shoot it again.
