The 30-378 was designed & tested in late 1959 – early 1960 by Weatherby at the request of the United States Army for the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Loads were to be developed to exceed 4000 FPS & as close to 5000FPS*.

When it was commercially introduced in 1996, it was billed as the world’s fastest 30 caliber cartridge and will push a 30 caliber bullet 3,500 feet per second.

Hornady® ELD-X®
The ELD-X® is a match accurate hunting bullet designed for long range terminal performance. The Heat Shield® tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory. This Heat Shield® tip helps initiate a consistent, controlled bullet expansion even at lower velocities. A streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets + Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
