Sorry to be late to the dance, but the factory ammo is "optimized", so to speak, using the slowest powders, so as to utilize the greater case capacity, to achieve the highest velocity. It's like buying ammo for a great deal of money that delivers on the idea that it is "the finest", which equates to the highest velocity in this instance. You certainly cannot argue with bullet choices and performance on game of the ammo.

I think it makes some people mad when it blows up .

I imagine that would apply to most anything.

All y'all Weatherby naysayers, many of which who have likely never owned one, should go buy a Mossberg.

To each their own.

I have a hard time buying the fact that their are no easily found lawsuits based on this, as opposed to problems with other rifles, M700 for instance.

Not a 700 basher, by the way.

If I was firing Weatherby factory ammo, in a Weatherby factory rifle, and it blew a hole in my face....you can damn sure bet I'd be looking for an Isaac...or a local facsimile thereof.

Wow I hadnt read this before. By all means please send me all of your Weatherbys and Weatherby ammo, gawd awful guns.
I heard they will maim children, especially the ones in factory original boxes.

Is there any factual documentation we can read on this or these failures any where? I like hard documentation on things like his. From failures like this, you WILL have public accessible info on them. Bad press from agendas going around has always been a problem if it's just that. .220 Swift history is a good example. After working for a master gunsmith from 76'-89' (Front Range Gunsmithing in Lakewood, CO), there's only one action I would subject more pressure to than a Mark V (Vanguard is not a Mark V). That's a Ruger No.1. I witness some pretty impressive stuff with them from there and at CST.
