Re: 338 Norma Mag Build Decisions?
orkan,
The DTA SRS looks like a great system, very practical. The
338 Lapua mag would be the way to go for non-hand loaders
as there are much more factory options. I decided on the Norma
because I can stick with my 700 action and seat the 300s out with
out loading single shot like I was with my EDGE. Although I had the Norma
and Lapua on the balancing beam, it was a tough decision for
A while. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Re: 338 Norma Mag Build Decisions?
Rimfire,
Thanks, going with a new bolt is clearly the best decision.
It's important that I have a temp stable powder because in
the winter it's gets in the low 20s then over 110 in the summer.
I have the same plans for my rifle! Going to be running the 300
Berger hybrids.

Re: 338 Norma Mag Build Decisions?
Well went searching for some brass and no luck.
Any body know where to find brass?

Norma Brass | Brownells
Best bet is to stick it on back order somewhere and wait. When a manufacturer does a run, all the distributors will get a chunk. If you are on the back order list, the closer you are to the top the sooner you'll get it.
