[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3084475, member: 10755"] I’m old enough to have been lucky when I built my switch barrel Win Model 70 Magnum action in 300/340/375 Weatherby that both Winchester and Remington were making ammo for the 300 & 340, 375 has always been a form and load cartridge to me. Now, that ammo available back then, especially the Remington Core-lokt in either, was fantastic shooting stuff with sub MoA almost guaranteed, the Winchester was not MoA in my rifle, but close. The Power Point bullet was also not the best, had them blow-up like grenades out of the 300 Weatherby in the 180g flavour, glad bullets got better… If only those 2 would make Weatherby ammo again. I can’t knock factory Weatherby ammo, except for price, but without it, I wouldn’t have brass in 257, 270, 300 or 340. My old Winchester & Remington brass is wearing thin, still usable, but due to neck splits and loose primer pockets, it is also thinning out. Never had the dreaded case head separations… Now, I buy Norma stamped brass, it is cheaper, yet the same brass as Weatherby. I form my 375 from H&H, mostly Winchester and Remington, but also Norms. You will never hear me recommend Hornady brass, even though I use it for my 416 Rigby based wildcats, but I have no options… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
