[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2198970, member: 87243"] Ya, standard Norma, 24" Lilja barrel. I tend to run my loads pretty conservative as this is built on a Remington action, I have never once seen ejector marks or heavy bolt lift, only light primer cratering on a couple loads, and I mean light. With a 28" standard .338 NM built on a stiller TAC .338 action, I ran the 300 Bergers up to 2925+ fps with Retumbo, and still didn't see ejector marks, increased bolt lift, clickers or anything, I stopped because I knew the extreme velocity could only be due to high pressures. The ADG brass is, I would nearly say, dangerously tough stuff. You can run stupidly high pressure, and other than the velocity and possibly primer catering, have no signs. I am starting my 8th firing of this 50 pieces of Peterson brass in my .338 NM, and have no signs of wear, primer pockets feel new, no separations, no cracked necks, nothing, and I have not annealed brass as I do not have an annealer yet. When funds allow it, I will.... I run that same 28" .338 NM at 2850 with 300 Bergers, using Retumbo. It is a very accurate load in that gun. From what I have seen, a .338 rum and .338 Norma are pretty similar. When it is time for another barrel, I am going to go .338 NM improved, I think that would boost performance a bit, and be an overall sexy looking cartridge ha ha [/QUOTE]
