Weatherby ammunition. How good?

Although I seldom buy factory ammunition, I have seen Weatherby's shells advertised on Midway's website. The price seems right (35 bucks for a box of .375H&H).

Has anybody had experience with the quality/accuracy of Weatherby's ammo? If they advertise their rifles as "the most accurate out of the box", would it be a fair assumption that they would ensure that their ammo does not jeopardize that statement?
 
A deer hunting buddy of mine bought a 270 Weatherby several years ago and while the factory ammunition is not cheap, it will group well under a minute of angle any time he is in practice. The brass is still, I believe, made by Norma, and it is of excellent quality. It took a lot of experimentation to get really close to the factory's velocity with the same weight bullets, and I am very impressed with it even though I think its overpowered for Texas deer, I am considering a 257 Weatherby myself because of how flat they shoot!
