I tried sciroccos in two rifles,but the accuracy was terrible in my rifles,and copper fouling was extreme.

The accubonds are a good choice for deer as is the Hornady interbond.The ttsx is also a great bullet,but it isn't required for deer.Of course there is no way of knowing which bullet your gun will prefer.

Norma used to supply the Weatherby brass and the Weatherby factory loads.I am assuming that they still do,but I can't say for sure.

Are the prices the same,or is the Weatherby brass higher priced?In any case,I would buy whichever is cheaper,since they are likely exactly the same.
