[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1011990, member: 14053"] Because brass will last for 30 plus firings and you will never see that out of the Weatherby case. My buddy has a 338-378 and I have an Imp Lapua. Both are wearing 36 inch 1.450 Diameter barrels and built just like our heavy 1000 yard BR guns. My Lapua will get 3100 with a 300 Berger and the brass lasts and the bolt opens. His almost ruins the brass at 3100 and you can't extract them nicely. 3 Firings and his brass is done. Lapua brass is the best brass made. These are facts not internet gumbo. We shot them side by side at Williamsport off the concrete benches over the same chronograph. Our groups were close to the same with my Lapua shooting 5 shots In 4 1/4 inches and his shooting in 5 1/2 inches. My Lapua also has bigger nodes where it wants to shoot. I pay 2.10 for a brand new Lapua case. There was a guy at the club had brand new primed Lapua brass at 1.00 a piece. It was pulled military but Lapua brand same stuff you buy. Matt [/QUOTE]
