<AKI>.30-378 specs&cases?
Gentlemen. Are there any ready-to-shoot brass in .30-378 available or is necking down 378Wby the best there is?
I found a Swedish gun magazine (Jakt&Vapen) from 1996 where one can read how Norma boldly is going "within a month or so" to make and sell .30-378 cartridges with Barnes X bullet. The case would get the shoulder radii of the 300Wby and not the ones of the parent 378Wby. But when I checked the present Clymer specs they were 378Wby type. Are there a de facto standard that "everyone" uses or is it still part of the free one-of-a-kind world?
Thanks! AKI
Weatherby has unprimed factory brass for the 30-378 and for the 338-378.

<Al Smith>Weatherby has both unprimed brass as well as loaded ammunition available. Norma is producing all the .30-378 brass right now.
