[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 276901, member: 10"] Nate, Just wondering if the 338 Norma Mag cases are stronger then that companies version of the Lapua Magnum? I used some of the Norma 338 Lapua cases early on in my development of my 7mm, 300, and 338 and found them to be about the same strength as a Remington RUM case. With my improved case design I was able to get around 100 fps over the RUM chamberings in same caliber but the primer pockets let loose rather rapidly. Switched to the Lapua cases, gained another 75 to 100 fps over the RUMs and I have yet to loosen a primer pocket to date. Just wondering if they have improved the head strength of their new 338 Norma Mag case. I assume so since you chose that over the Lapua. I was always impressed with the quality of the Norma cases, just which they would take the top end pressures better. Maybe that has been corrected. Hell of a rifle by the way. [/QUOTE]
