[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 866534, member: 11717"] Bingo... if you go to Midway and read the reviews on Warbird brass, the bad ones out number the good ones by 2 to 1. I'm not trying to flame, just stating the facts. If it were me trying to manufacture and market the Warbird, I would do everything I could to turn that perception around. I have heard the newer Hornady made brass is better than the origianl brass. If it's as good as my Hornady made 300 Dakota brass, then it is good stuff, not as good as Lapua, but good enough. I might even consider contracting Bertram to make it, like Shawn did with the EDGE. That would be on par with Lapua brass. I would hesitate to offer J4 jacketed bullets as a commercial hunting round in a Warbird chambering. Although the 210 JLK or Berger would make excellent long range hunting bullets, I could see potential short range high velocity wrecks. There will no doubt be guys buying it that don't understand the parameters of those bullets. I am even a little hesitant of shooting a 230 Hybrid with thicker jacket out of the smaller 300 RUM at shorter distances where impact velocities would be greater than 3000 fps. I would offer good load info for that combo as well as and especially the 230 gr bullets. Although the heavy Hybrids are good hunting bullets, the bullet maker has labeled them as "target" bullets, not recommended for hunting. So that puts the ammo maker in a bad position to offer such a combo as a hunting round. Although I like the VLD's better, probably the 2 best all around short to long range hunting bullets best suited for "commercial" sales in the Warbird chambering would be the 200 gr Accubond and the 210 ABLR. They stabize in an 11 twist. One could offer the 230 Hybrids as a "general long range shooting round". I would do some short range high velocity testing with 210 ABLR before marketing that in a Warbird chamber. [/QUOTE]
