[QUOTE="308 NormaMag, post: 1837204, member: 112774"] Russell523 and Jud96, as you can imagine by my "handle" I 've been shooting the 308 Norma Mag for well over 45 years. My rifle is a 1903 Springfield action with a Shilen barrel. The first iteration was a rechambering of the original military barrel, both have been exceptionally accurate. Keep in mind this is not a light recoiling caliber, and I shoot it very little except on hunts. I am shooting 165 grain Nosler Partitions in front of 70 grains of IMR 4350 at 3050 fps. I have killed numerous whitetails, several mule deer, and a couple of elk all with the same load. No reason for the heavier stuff. I take and make good shots on game, and I rarely have an animal do anything but go down. Good luck with your build and welcome to the "Norma Mag" club we are few are far between but all love the caliber and it's performance. [/QUOTE]
