[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1230184, member: 90399"] You can always download the Norma to save on barrel life if you and your son are target shooting. But then you can still have the extra velocity/foot lbs for your hunting rounds. Lapua makes brass for the Norma. If you are planning on using a short action for the 6.5-284 Norma to save on weight, the velocity gap between the 2 cartridges might be closer (because of seating the bullets further into the case). I tend to believe the Norma shines better in a long action even though the parent cartridge was originally designed for a short action. I don't own a Creedmoor, but I definitely would someday if I had the chance. I do love my 6.5-284 though. [/QUOTE]
