[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2008787, member: 93138"] I've long thought the same, that Norma's presence in the US is such that the WM had a sizeable leg up from the start. Had nothing to do with actual performance. .300 WM cases are good for something, it's easy to make .308 Norma's from them. :) I made 20 from some old Frontier .300 WM ammo after pulling the bullets with a Forster collet puller, and used them to send off seated bullet samples for setting the throat. Thinking that I might just use those cases & bullets for barrel break-in. Curiously the same exact seating die setting for Sierra 195's when a Sierra 168 is seated instead produces a COAL within .003" of that for the 195. I did not expect that. I know that COAL doesn't mean a whole lot, but I still found it interesting that they were so close. I've found that I can also use the Lee .300 WM collet sizer die on .308 Norma cases. Really didn't expect [I]that[/I] to work, but it does. [/QUOTE]
