[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1704547, member: 101859"] I build both. Theres always a little more hassle with improved cases regarding dies but my improved reamer and dies (JGS and Hornady) are both available to the public and they work well together. The improved case is bigger, obviously. But my main motivation with improving the case is case growth. I really hate trimming. I also do not like running bullets much over 3000 fps so for in the improved case I am recommending guys shoot the heavier bullets. If you do not mind trimming and want to push 215s, then the standard Norma will do it just fine or a lighter load in the imp. Or maybe even simpler would be a 300 prc, 30, or 30-28 Nosler. Theres really only one rem clone action I like to use for the lapua bolt face right now so sticking with standard mags is easier in that respect. I went through the hassle of getting the reamer and dies made up and working because I wanted one and I enjoy playing with long range hunting rifles. The vast majority of my work is long range Benchrest however. [/QUOTE]
