[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 1011960, member: 68226"] Weatherby brass is available everywhere Sportsmans, Cabelas, Grafs let alone everywhere on the internet. It is made by Norma which is considered to be the very best in quality and very uniform. You do not have to work the primer pockets over or debur the flash holes do to they are drilled, not punched. All in all a completely higher quality brass. Especially compared to MILITARY brass. If you switch to the Quality Lapua brass then I really wonder if the Weatherby brass is that much more expensive? The Weatherby not a wildcat, no fireforming! That in and of itself makes it less expensive and less hassle overall. It has more case capacity than the improved versions of ( most) anything and can push the 300 gr bullet at higher velocities at LOWER SAFE pressures. The Kubla is a "improved" version of the Weatherby that improves very little. Even the designer and originator will tell you this. If you want the hassle for a improved version of the 338, then check out any one of the 338-408 chey versions on the market. Kirby Allen and Bruce Baer, I think would verify what I just said. I think they have the knowledge and experience far more that other peoples experience on this forum. PM fitftydriver and ask what he thinks. Or better yet have him chime in. The Weatherby is just awesome for accuracy, overall expense, power, everything considered. Compare all the drop values and energy at 1000 to make your choice. [/QUOTE]
