[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2872248, member: 12443"] Yes i remember that article. I later got to know one of the people in that article, the one referred to as Joe, he was from Sunbury PA. I bought a Bausch& Lomb 6x24 Balvar scope from him for $400 with the Kuharsky rear mount. Actually there was a bit of crazy stuff going on at that time. Duplexing powder being one of them. And there were some people who got hurt doing some of those things. Joe had a 6.5x300 Wetherby, and that was the cartridge used in that article. After his buddy Alex Hoyer died in 1970, he wanted Howard Wolfe to build him a 6.5x378 Wetherby on one of Howards big actions. But Howard being the cautious person he was refused. Later he agreed to build him a shortened case version 378 necked down to 7mm. A shortened 378 case is identicle in size and capacity to the 300 Norma case. So in fact Howards short version 30x378 was/is a 300 Norma, created many years before the 300 Norma. His son Bob still has the dies for making the brass from 378 cases. [/QUOTE]
