[QUOTE="winmag, post: 394776, member: 22166"] My apologies L.T.L.R., I completely forgot about the 30/378 and 338/378. You are once again correct. I was thinking 7wby, 300wby, and 340wby. Sorry I had a brain fart. I LOVE Wby's Rifles, and I even love thier cartriges. I do hand load, but It seems to me, for my shooting purposes, Id be $ ahead if I were to load for the wsm even if it were based on powder consumption alone. Im aware Ill give up some velocity, and the ability to launch heavier bullets as effectively by going the wsm route. Ill have to do some research on some more brass. Have you tried Hornady's Frontier brass? I may give some a whirl. Heck I can buy Hornady custom ammo (300wby, 180gr) for $40 a box loaded, and use the brass for my testing. Weatherby wants $84 bucks a box for anything loaded in 180gr, and $35 for 20 empty's!!! I could have twice as much fun emptying the loaded cases for $5. And I cant find bagged bulk brass around here without ordering it, unless I go to Nosler. $65 for 50 brass(not a bad price). But Nosler WSM brass is about $53 for 50, and Win. wants $35 for 50 wsm brass. I dunno, maybe Im splitting hairs, and should quit whining about $ saved vs velocity lost:D. I need more $ so I can have both. [/QUOTE]
