Description
The .224 Weatherby Magnum has always been one of Roy Weatherby's more interesting creations, and if you own one of these rifles you already know factory brass can be hard to come by. This is the real deal straight from Weatherby, giving you unprimed cases to build your own loads from the ground up. Each box holds 20 fresh cases ready for prep and reloading.
What Sets This .224 Wby Magnum Brass Apart
Weatherby magnum brass is produced for them by Norma Precision, which is the same brass that goes into their factory ammunition. These cases feature CNC-machined primer pockets and are held to match-grade specifications, so you get the kind of consistency that pays off downrange when you are chasing tight groups. The .224 Weatherby Magnum is a belted, bottleneck cartridge that takes a large rifle primer, so plan your component list accordingly.
Prepping Your .224 Weatherby Magnum Cases
Like any new rifle brass, these should be sized, deburred, and chamfered before that first firing. It is common to see a case mouth or two that is slightly out of round from manufacturing or shipping, and running them through your sizing die squares everything up. One thing worth knowing about this cartridge: even though it wears a belt, most reloaders get the best case life and accuracy by setting their sizing die to headspace off the shoulder rather than the belt, just like a standard rimless case.
Why Reloaders Reach for Weatherby Brass
The .224 Weatherby Magnum is the only belted magnum varmint cartridge out there, and it pushes light .224 bullets at serious velocity. Since no major maker other than Weatherby chambers for it, keeping a stock of quality brass on your bench is one of the smartest moves you can make. Starting with good cases means your reloads will deliver the flat-shooting, high-velocity performance this round was built for.

Do I need to size this brass before loading since it has a belt?
Yes, new brass should always be sized before that first loading.
