.308 Norma mag?

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right place to post this topic...maybe cassifides would be better. Anyway I have a .308 Norma mag project in the works and was wondering if anyone was set up to load this cartridge or if anyone had brass or dies they want to sell. Also interested in what people with experience with this cartridge think about it. Basically my uncle acquired a project gun chambered in .308 Norma mag. And I'm in the process of making a stock for it. Technically it's ready to test fire but I still have the final fit and shaping to do so I thought I'd test the waters here and see about ammo possibilities and see if I could here some opinions on the cartridge itself as neither of us have any experience with it. Thanks in advance for any responses.

My only experience was watching a friend hammer a nice bull at long range with a rifle chambered to that caliber. It is a long-range hammer, and a very neat cartridge to use or own. Some beautiful blued steel and walnut rifles can be found in that caliber. But performance-wise, it is also in the pretty generic category of .30 caliber magnums. Read "The Hunting Rifle" by Jack O'Connor - not the whole book, just the chapter on .30 cal. magnums. That will pretty much tell you the story. Then decide if you still want one.
