Soon to pick up a 300 Kong..now it's time for a scope..

[300WSM]

Yes it is. I do bump the shoulder a little more than I should. Like clockwork 6 firings on the Wby brass and it starts show its little brass ring above the belt. Hornady primer pockets give up , in fact they seemed a little loose when fresh out of the box. Nosler showing no signs of letting me down yet. I do have some Bell Laboratory brass I haven’t tried yet.

So genuine Weatherby brass is quality, yes?

Zeiss Duralyt and Conquest DL were both made in Europe, however, this is not the case with the Conquest V4. Zeiss Conquest V4 rifle scopes are made in Japan.

That's what I thought and certainly didn't think they'd move them back.

Thank you

Winchester primers might help your Hornady brass...*might*

There is a reason Hornady doesn’t offer the brass as a component anymore

So genuine Weatherby brass is quality, yes?

With limited manufactures making the 378 Wby base case , options are limited. I’m thinking my Nosler brass is at least 10yrs old , would be my first choice if the quality is the same. Otherwise Norma/Wby is the only commercial brass being made.

Weatherby brass hmmmm. It's a little too soft for my taste but it's not bad. It is not Peterson it is not alpha it is not ADG and definitely not Lapua but not bad...

Is Norma and WBY same/same

Or just equal quality...

 

[RL338]

Yes I believe the quality is the same. With that being said the only Norma headstamped brass I have is for my 460 Wby and the internal capacity is not the same as Wby brass.

Yes.

Yes.

Two different answers unless I'm reading this wrong?

Weatherby brass is in fact Norma brass restamped? Or vice-versa ...

 

[RL338]

Norma makes brass for Wby , just stating my 460 Wby brass has different internal capacities between the headstamps.

I caught that part but was a little confused on the mfg of both or was it just one.

Appreciate the response to clarify

Thx

I tried find the posting that defined what the 300 Kong is, to no avail. I assume that the 30-378 is the parent case. What is the 330 Kong?

300 Kong.....enjoy..Handloader magazine gets credit

By Layne Simpsom Enjoy!!! I had the great pleasure of knowing Roy Weatherby. Back then people took pen and paper in hand and wrote letters, and I have saved all received from Roy on various subjects. Several were on an old wildcat he had formed by necking down the .378 Weatherby Magnum case...

I just call the 30-378 the Kong because all intents and purposes, it is

Thanks. But that was embarrassing. Looks like I read it before. It’s no fun getting old.

True, dat. Doesn't change reality, but the hidden hand of time touches all of us.

Sshh...

It's our secret.

I just looked in the refrigerator for 30 seconds staring staring staring...
My wife says what are you looking for. I said lost my train of thought.

She said a marker? I said yes! Obviously in the drawer by the fridge.
