[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2601908, member: 9551"] I don't buy factory ammo. I have 55 years of handloading experience. I started with hand dies and used the handle end of a broken baseball bat for force and surplus .50 Cal powder I purchase in a plastic bag. As a handloader, I have always admired Weatherby ammo. I remember when Weatherby introduced the .30-378 Magnum. As soon as we could, we got a "Crony" (1995) to verify the claimed 3400 fps for a 180gr bullet. It lived up to Weatherby advertising. Handloading for the .30-378, with the powders available at the time, we could never equal the performance of the factory Weatherby ammo. Years later Norma finally solved the mystery by supplying the Norma 217 powder that they used. Norma cases are among the most sought after cases. I have depended on .22 PPC, 6mm PPC, 6mm BR, .270 WSM, 6.5 Arisaka, and many more. I loaded 270 and 7mm Weatherby cases sized and trimmed in my 7mm Remington die and rifle, just to take advantage of the Norma quality cases. Weatherby, as a company, would not have survived to today without the superior factory ammo loaded by Norma. My recent experience handloading to compete with the Barnes .270 factory loads (loaded by Norma), has reaffirmed that respect. The cronograph and 200 yard accuracy has shown they are superior to the factory Hornady Superformance and Federal junk in both accuracy and lack of temperature sensitivity. [/QUOTE]
