[QUOTE="Kiwi Greg, post: 1437857, member: 13456"] I have built a few standard 300 Normas now, case life isn't great, the brass is pretty tough & doesn't seem to shrink back enough, the pockets are fine. My Defiance would start to Primary Extract after 6-7 reloads, A clients Stiller is cranky after only 3-4 reloads even after he has backed the load off. Possibly the new brass from Lapua, Petersen & Bertram will alleviate this issue a little ? FWIW I have the same problem with my custom 338 Norma chambered Barrett 98B except the Barrett has very little Primary extraction so backing the load right off & beating the bolt handle are the norm.... here's hoping the new brass helps..... Years ago I made some 338 Norma brass out of Lapua 338 LM brass, I couldn't get any more performance from it, it had a smaller case capacity, this was in a big Barnard P-Chey action with a 32" barrel, it shot very well.
