[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 2462137, member: 22335"] Hornady, Remington and Federal have made ammo for the 7mm Wby over the years. I have some of each. The fact that Weatherby narrowed down their 7mm Wby ammo choices in the last few years sure hasn't helped. Thankfully I roll my own, so it's not a factor. However, the 160 Accubond load was my favorite, and now gone. For most people over the last 60 years, spending the $ for a Weatherby rifle and Weatherby ammo was more than they wanted to pay. Add the arrival of the 7mm Remington, and the 7mm Weatherby became a "boutique" cartridge. I don't think that the 1-10 twist affected it over the years since for the general public, they really don't care. I shoot or load for several 7mm Weatherby rifles and don't expect that will change anytime soon. It's a great cartridge but not for everyone. [/QUOTE]
