[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2460744, member: 30902"] A solid round but mostly chambered in over priced factory rifles and mostly limited to overpriced factory ammo. Wby customer weren't generally the folks that wanted to "roll their own" and today as difficult as components are to come by I don't think it's really a practical option for most. Weatherby was way ahead of his time and well ahead of the development of steel that would take the pressures and temps of his hotrods and they tend to be chambered in slower twist barrels because the goal was speed not energy. There's certainly nothing wrong with the 7mmWBY it just never caught on and won't in this era but it will probably always have a small niche following. [/QUOTE]
