[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 239845, member: 8843"] Several reasons 1)The Wby brass is very expensive and doesn't last 1/5 th as long as the Lapua so the reloading cost it higher to round fired. 2)The Wby case has a belt and alot of guys don't like the beted mags 3) the Big Wby case is bigger and take more space in the mag box so bullets can't be seated out as far to get close to the lands. 4) to get the same speeds from both it take a good bit more powder in the Wby case , that speeds barrel wear and also powder consumption. I'd have to say that the quality/strength of the brass and size of the case would be the biggest factors [/QUOTE]
