Is the off brand Nosler?
Try Cabela's, I purchased some Norma there a few months ago, on sale. I have yet to measure capacity or total weight between Norma and the Nosler, but the Nosler is good brass.

the off brand wasn't Nosler. It was some deal with three letters.
Cabela's was out of Norma. I ordered some on backorder.
I have about 75 cases, some Wby and some Norma, but a lot of that has been fired two to three times. Probably doesn't make any difference.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Two more questions:
1) What is the proper twist rate for a .300 Wby? 1 in 10?
2) What do you feel is an adequate weight for a 300 Wby - mine weighs 9.25 lbs with scope and feels heavy (probably due to the # of Kimbers in my safe!).
Thanks!

Probably 1-10. There is a tendency with many .300 Weatherby users to shoot heavier bullets, such as 190-200 grains pitzers. I don't disagree!
Th weight depends in your ablity to handle recoil, though obviously stock shape and the quality of the recoil pad has something to do this this too. Certainly as magnum rifles get heavier some people shoot them better. Mine weighs about 8-1/2 pounds with scope, and seems about right to me. I also confess that as I grow older the better a typical Weatherby Monte Carlo seems to handle recoil, and the less its shape offends me.

Just bumping this post to the top again.
Why doesn't it stay there like all the other "Ask John about..." columns?

Eventually all of them will drop down, as questions cease.

Then why does this one seem to be dropping sooner?
For instance, the thread about asking John Haviland questions about Fail-Safes hasn't had a post since last October, 3 1/2 months ago.
