I stayed on the scope because I’d never seen one drop like that. Decided I didn’t need it after that. Beyond overkill for anything we have down here.

You can do that with a 243 at 200 yds with a high shoulder shot on whitetail

That cartridge was devolved clear back in the 60s I believe, and so was the 30-378 I believe, it's funny how Weatherby never did anything with it for so long, Elmer Keith was one of the guys that did the wild cat back then.
