[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1164728, member: 41124"] To get back on point, my personal thoughts are 300 Norma or 30 Nosler. The Norma is going to give you more velocity. Both will allow the bullet to be seated close to the lands and still be magazine length, which I personally feel is a tremendous advantage! If you are going with a custom action it probably doesn't matter which cartridge you choose. As far as brass goes there won't be a lot of choices either way and both will be expensive. However, if you anneal your necks and don't "hot rod" the **** out of them the brass will be one of the cheaper components when you pull the trigger. Just my two cents. BTW, my brother and both shoot .338 Norma's on Rem 700 actions. But I would still be leary of a Lapua based cartridge on a Rem 700. P.O. Ackley could tell you why! [/QUOTE]
