I feel the need again for a .30 Magnum and have settled on either .308 Norma Mag or .300 Win Mag.
I've owned and reloaded for .300 Win before, so I know about the short neck and short case life issues. (Wondering today why I sold them off...).
Anyone with experience loading the .308 Norma have info on case life?
Surprised to find on Midway that Norma brand .300 Win brass more expensive than Norma brand .308 Norma, unless you spring for the .300 Win 500ct. Other brands usually cheaper, of course.
And of course .308 Norma rifles aren't in every catalog, so that's a different consideration.
And please, I have already eliminated the .30 short fats and other alphabet variants, so we don't need to rehash those.
Thanks for any thoughts, case life foremost, but happy to read about .308 Norma experiences.
