This took place as early as the 1970s, but it wasn’t added to the Weatherby lineup of loaded cartridges and rifle chamberings until 1999.The .338-378 Weatherby Magnum is sometimes confused with the earlier .338-378 Keith-Thompson wildcat, but because the K-T version is on the shortened .378 Magnum case, loading data are…

The bill’s passage — by a 221-209 margin, with only five Democrats backing the measure — sends the national security budget debate over to the Senate, where appropriators still have not unveiled the parameters of their spending plans for next year.

Although Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, it has long fueled public…
