[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1495321, member: 53978"] Yes, maybe a separate thread for the true Rigby case head. The 300 Norma is 5.85" and based on the Rigby/Lapua case head. As for platforms, I built a Rigby-based, 2.65" case, 500 AccRel on a Ruger Hawkeye. No problem, and it handles 7000ft# muzzle energies. But it is a tack-driving buffalo gun, not an elk rifle. And I've never owned a 30-cal, so it's time to get a light 308Win (5.5lb+scope) for the grandkids. PS: FWIW, AmmoGuide says "Introduced in 2012 by Norma of Sweden, the .300 Norma Magnum is based on the .338 Norma Magnum, necked-reduced to .308 caliber. The round should not be confused with the .308 Norma Magnum, a conventional belted-magnum of 1960s vintage." [/QUOTE]
