Here is one, you watch cops and robbers in shoot out. You see a guy behind a car, shooting, thinking the car offers protection. Well, we used to have a dump, with beat up cars. I took a shot at a station wagon, the 300 grain Hornady slug went clean thru 460 engine block, pas problemo I won a bet, guy brought over a steel plate 2" thick. Said my .378 Weatherby Magnum would not punch thru it. Well, it did, and pulverished a concrete block too. The TV shows are wrong. I seriously doubt a bullet proof vest can stop a .340 magnum round, hardly a .378.
Yep. The .378 was made for Rhino/ Hippos/ Elephant/ Kodiak Bear. My sister's boyfriend at the time was a burly guy, 6 ft. 195 lbs. We tried out my new rifle out in the back forty. She is 5.6 103 lbs I am 5.10 150 lbs, anyway, I had set out three concrete blocks the day before, range 600 ft. I went first, no shirt, smoked the block. She, was decked in a bikini, fired, destroyed the block. Now for her big mouth ex boyfriend, he fired, the scope hit his eye socket. Quick end to story, he clocked his shoulder, cracked his ocular eye socket bone, missed the block. But, here is the funny part, I shot a whitetail deer with the .378, hardly any tissue damage, when I did same with my .240 weatherby magnum, the exit wound was BIG. Weatherbys are beautifull rifles, but also handy.
