Warning: Bullet selections are specific, and loads are not valid with substitutions of different bullets of the same weight. Variations in bullet material and length will alter net case capacity,  pressure and velocity results. Primer selection is specific and primer types are not interchangeable. These data represents maximum loads in our firearms and test equipment and may easily be excessive in other applications. All loads should be reduced by 3%,  and developed following safe handloading practices as represented in established reloading manuals produced by component manufacturers. Presentation of these loads does not constitute a solicitation for their use, nor a recommendation.   Cartridge: 378 Weatherby Magnum   Firearm: Weatherby Mark V Deluxe   Max COL: 3..655″ (SAAMI)   Bullet Diameter: 0.375″   Primer: CCI 250 Large Rifle Magnum   Barrel: 26″   Reloading Dies: Redding   Max case length: 2.913″   Group: Distance 100 yards – Three shots
