[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2299321, member: 11853"] I chose the 308 Norma Magnum for my last rebarrel job because of mag box restrictions.I have both the 300WSM and 300 Win Mag.Both are great,but the 300 Win Mag easily out does the 300WSM.The 308 Norma runs a bit closer to the 300 Win Mag.I chose it over the 30-338 because I can get factory brass or can easily neck up 7mag brass or neck down 338 Win Mag brass.The latter two will end up being a little short,but that doesn't hurt anything.You can also use 300 Win Mag brass,but that is the hardest way to make the brass and requires trimming.It also has to move the shoulder more.Here is a couple of test loads I ran through it on my first range trip.The rifle has a 26" Shaw barrel.I ran a couple of 180gr loads that ran a little over 3100fps,so it really isn't much different than the 300 Win Mag.[ATTACH type="full" alt="308 NM A4350.jpg"]301060[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="308 NM R22.jpg"]301061[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
