[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 366479, member: 6536"] I thought the win was smaller than lapua. In a tight Match Win chamber, a lapua brass should not fit. The real difference between the two is the throat lenght. The win is usally cut for a short action and throat lenghts to accept lighter and shorter bullets. throat lenghts around .07 ish. The Norma is set up for long actions and the throats are set for longer heavier bullets. throats are around the .200ish. The reason I know this is my barrel maker cut a win chamber instead of a Norma chamber. The Lapua brass fit just fine but the 140 VLDS were seated so low in the case neck it was useless. They throated it to have .190 free bore to seat the bullet where its supposed to be. Shamwoo it was a Norma chamber. So if you have a Win chamber you can have the throat reamed out, if the barrel twist will handle the heavier bullets. Willys [/QUOTE]
