[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2460455, member: 88320"] Back in the day you could buy 50 rds of 7rem brass for $30ish. 7 mm weatherby brass was $20 for 20 pieces of brass. Extremely expensive for the times. Weather by mark 5 rifles were extremely expensive at the time. Seemed like only the rich guys that went on safari type hunts had them. 7 mm weather by was only offered in weatherby rifles. I think both of those killed the round. When they produced them in cheaper lines of rifles they killed like a mule and weren’t very accurate. Mark 5 were accurate but the cheaper ones weren’t. I think a lot of that was shooter induced because of the recoil. I think price is what killed most of weatherby stuff. So many other 7mm came around that did the same without extra expense of a weatherby. Back in 1990 I was going to buy one in 270 and all these factors steered me away. [/QUOTE]
