Where is Weatherby ammo currently made

[zoniezonie]

We had a discussion awhile back as to where New Weatherby ammo was being made,  we were looking at the new Boxes and nothing said it was made in Sweden by Norma so the question came up where is the new Weatherby ammo actually made ?   I called Weatherby this morning and the good customer service people at Weatherby said nothing is made by Norma anymore.  ALL new ammo is loaded in the USA and I'm assuming @ Weatherby,  Brass is a mixture of Hornady and Peterson,  Bullets of course are listed,  Powders are Proprietary and no information is given out.    I sure like the Norma brass I've found it lasts quite a long time 15 or so re-loadings in our 257's and that's a pretty hot load.   The Norma Brass in our 300's out lasts Remington brass .  Hornady Brass in my other calibers has been quite good,  Peterson Brass I don't know anything about must be pretty good.   I hope that Weatherby's new brass suppliers  brass will last  for many re-loadings, I'm sure it will.     I would be curious as to what cartridge brass is made by Hornady and what cases are made by Peterson.

Peterson has 300 and 6.5-300 listed on their website.

I've used their 7mm-08 and it has been great.

When I drove up to Sheridan to pick up my new .240, I was told that they loaded their ammo on site.

Well this would explain the disappearance of the Norma Spitzer ammo.

The only Weatherby calibers Peterson sells brass for are the 6.5-300WM and the .300WM, so all the others are likely Hornady brass, unless they do special trade-only runs for orders from Weatherby.

Any Idea of how many reloads with the Hornady brass ?
I am sure I must have some of the newer hornady brass mixed in with the Norma. I bet I could come pretty close to sorting it just by the head stamp depth. The new stuff isn't very deep or cut very clean. Also any brass with the green around the primer pocket would be the old brass.
Which makes me ask another question.
Who makes the primers. My 300 range brass is half brass and half silver primers. I thought Weatherby used Fed. 215 primers mostly in the big magnums.  But there silver. Who is making the brass colored primers ?
