[QUOTE="985, post: 268279"] Heavy ain't a bad thing! I sold the Tactical hunter, and am in the process of gathering components to build a .338 NORMA. Those components are as follows: Badger Ordnance M2008 Long Action Badger Ordnance Bottom Metal Probably a Jewel Trigger unless I can locate an old Remington 40X Mike Rock Barrel with a Heavy Palma Contour, and a twist rate of 1: 9.4 that will be finish cut at 26" Manners Stock Night Force 5.5-22 Mil dot with turret click value at .01 Mils per click The .338 NORMA's design was driven by the 300 grain SMK, so that is what the cartridge is designed around. If you take a look at the ballistics of this cartridge you will see that it greatly surpasses the 250 grain Lapua Scenar and still has a good edge over the 300 SMK out of the Lapua Cartridge. In addition, it is a very forgiving round. waht this means is that if you were to goof up your powder charge in either direction of center, the poi shift is minimal and pressure signs unnoticeable. Hard to imagine, however the cartridge is balanced with the bullet so well, that it is hard to shoot out of a hole. Velocity out of the 26" barrel is expected to be at or above 2800 fps and it is a SMOOTH shooter. A man by the name of "Jimmy Sloan" developed this cartridge and he deserves more than a couple of atta-boys or a pat on the back for this. He really did a phenomenal job. [/QUOTE]
