[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1361759, member: 69478"] .308 Norma Magnum. It was introduced before the .300 WinMag, but the lack of factory ammunition at first, the limited European rifles chambered in it, and Winchester's introduction shortly after with the .300WM really killed it off. My primary Long Range rifle is chambered in .308 Norma and exceeds my old barrel, in .300WM, by 100fps and I am burning a few grains less powder. Bertram also makes .308 Norma brass and I find it to be way better than any currently available .300 Win brass. If they ever stop producing brass for the Norma, all it takes is running .300 brass through the Norma FL die and trimming it to length. The Norma is also around .060 shorter than the Win Mag and has a longer neck, really fits well in unmodified LA mag boxes even with long, heavy, high BC bullets like the 208gr ELD Match that I shoot. Overall it's an excellent cartridge and the best balanced .30cal out there in my opinion! [/QUOTE]
