I have used the Weatherby/Norma brass in 6.5-300 and 300 Weatherby with no complaints. I've run the 6.5-300 really hard and after five firings, primer pockets are still tight. I've used both Peterson and ADG in other cartridges and found them to be likewise excellent. I plan on using Peterson in the future.
Pricing on 257 Wby brass is all other the place. Midway charges $94 for 50 Norma cases and $125 for the same quantity of Weatherby head stamped brass. Go figure. They are showing $109 per 50 Peterson cases with an availability date of 8/7/25. If you can wait until August, I'd go with the Peterson. If you are looking for some factory ammo to shoot for brass, Scheel's has 100 grain Interlock SPs for the same price ($65) as 20 prices of unprimed brass. That seems like a no brainer to me.
