[QUOTE="Magnumdude, post: 1393685, member: 751"] I can speak from experience regarding the Norma brass that Weatherby and the 416 Rigby use. The 416 Rigby is supposed to be a low pressure round, unlike the hot-rodded Weatherby rounds. If pushed, you're only going to get two good firing out of a case that costs $2.50. The 338 Lapua uses Lapua brass and is much tougher than the soft Norma brass. I'm getting a 338 Lapua AI built as we post here. Last year I would have opted for the 338-378 AI, but that was before I began shooting the 30-378 AI. It holds 137 grains of water after being fireformed - about an 11% increase in capacity. But, once again, the brass is so soft you're better off using a 300 RUM and reloading your brass multiple times. Ditto for the 338 Lapua AI. [/QUOTE]
