If your thinking of buying, something to consider is Weatherby brass is double the price ,with about half the case life being a belted cartridge.

Of the three, the Ultra is the cheapest to reload, for sure, but the Lapua brass is quite a bit more accurate.
I have loaded for all of them , and prefer the lapua EXCEPT for brass cost!
However, that is a very small consideration, and the Lapua wins out big time.
The Wetherby is a non starter for me, but I handload it for someone else.
The only reason I have a belt is to hold up my pants!
