[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1803881, member: 87243"] .338 Norma or Norma improved variant is what I would go for. Since it is a hunting rifle, you can easily run them as a repeater in a 3.850 mag with a 300 Berger and use all of the potential case capacity, not really doable with the Edge, though you can just jump a lot, out of a Wyatts 3.850" mag. I don't know the specifics of the rum with a Sierra 300, it has a little shorter nose than the Berger, so it may be workable out of a rum in a 3.850 mag with optimal seating, I don't know either way. The standard Norma will get you 2650+ with a 300 pill and optimum powders, even in a 24" barrel (my buddies is 2750 with a mild load out of a 28"), an improved version will get 2850ish or better depending on the variation you go with. I just finished up putting together my back country elk rig, a 9.1 lb all up .338 Norma mag, handles like a dream, especially compared to the 14 lb pig I was used to carrying all over the back country. Barrel is 24" plus brake, #5 spiral fluted Lilja. My buddies 11.5 lb .338 NM is pretty fun too, just a little heavy for what I wanted to do. it sure does shoot sweet though. Haven't put rounds through this one yet, hopefully soon!![ATTACH=full]168422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168424[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
