[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 648926, member: 13110"] Norma makes Weatherby brass. It's rather soft though compared to Lapua. The .416 Rigby brass isn't designed to be pushed hard as it was a rather low pressure round when introduced. The brass today is tougher than the older stuff but it still won't compare to Lapua. The 338 Lapua is based off of the Rigby but with much stouter brass. So if your going to build off of something I'd use the .338 Lapua case rather than the Rigby. If you don't alter the shoulder/neck junction you can shoot the standard Lapua case necked up to fireform. The standard .378 Weatherby will compare well with the .375-338 Lapua Imp. but you won't get the case life (from what I've seen with my .30-378 Imp.) and brass is about 4.00 each compared to 2.50 for 338 Lapua.
