[QUOTE="SidTheKidd, post: 1176966, member: 13577"] I built a 338 Norma a few years back (see sig). The main reason for me going with the 338 Norma Mag over a 338 Lapua was the usable case capacity while DBM feeding, and the positive reviews that I have read about it. I also owned a 338 EDGE and wasn't impressed with any brass that was available at the time(nosler and Rem). My gun liked to chew them up. I know now that better brass is out there but maybe tough to find. The brass for the 338 Norma,in my opinion, is very good from Norma. I have been using my original brass and have 5 firings on it. Everything seems to be good still on it. That being said my gun shoots the Berger 300 HBH @ 2800 fps, with 91 grains of Retumbo. Consistent .5 MOA gun. I think that speed is right in there with 338 LMs with comparable barrel length. I know it was with my 338 EDGE. I like the gun a lot, and wouldn't hesitate to build another one. Killed my first elk with it, on the first time out hunting with it, which happened to be a 300+" bull. Two other buddies of mine also have 338 Norma and have had similar results to mine and are also happy with their guns too. I know that there was an article on LRH that someone did on the 338 NM that was pretty good. Have you read that? It had goo info on it. Let me know if you got any other questions. 338 hammers are fun, no matter what you build. [/QUOTE]
