Actually Weatherby brass is too soft. I had a .30-378 and rechambered it. If Wby would make brass as tough as Lapua they would sell it by the truck load. I would avoid the .30-378 and use something based on Lapua or Norma brass.
You can buy Norma headstamp 30-378 Wby. brass
Norma makes Weatherby brass and says its the same:
Hi, I have a question regarding the brass produced by Norma.
As I understand, Norma is producing both Norma and Weatherby brass in all the Weatherby calibers.
Ranging from 224 to 460 Weatherby Magnum.
Some claim that the Weatherby brass is not as soft as Norma, and the annealing is better.
Is there any quality difference in the brass stamped Norma vs. Weatherby?
Or is the only difference the head stamping?
Best regards
