[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 290528, member: 10654"] The 338 Norma case capacity is slightly less than the 338 Lapua, I think 3-5gr, but will yield the same velocities under the same pressures. Don't need to get into a debate about how that is not possible with less powder. Only know what I have been told by the cartridge designer and what I have read from other peoples test results. Don't know how this cartridge compares to the 300 RUM, I think they would be very close in case capacity and velocity, with maybe a slight edge going to the Norma. But the 338 Norma Mag and wildcats( 7mm & 30cal) would shoot the long VLD bullets in a standard 3.60 magbox. COAL in a 30 cal wildcat with the 210 Bergers is 3.500, with BT above neck/shoulder junction,, easily fitting into a standard magbox. [/QUOTE]
