Nice rifle and shooting
Why did you want to give up the Norma?
The 570 load, is it close to max? Any pressure signs on brass?
Barrel length?
Perfect
I hope Norma brass will be better in the future.
Have you tested 230 berger with N-570?
You've been reading my mail The 230's and N570 are up next! I'll post my range results to this thread. I really wish Norma would make better brass too, or another manufacturer (like Lapua or RWS) would step up and make 300NM brass.
I haven't fired it enough yet.
Even if the Lapua lasts longer than the Norma at the same velocities it needs too for the extra cost of the brass as well as the time taken to form it
Have you made some 300 or 338 Norma mag brass from Lapua ?
I have for both & didn't really find an appreciable difference, well not enough for me to want to go to the trouble to build enough Lapua brass to run for the life of the barrel.
It may be different if it was purpose made for the Norma mag & not a modified case ?
Interesting you haven't found any difference between Norma and Lapua brass. I can get 6-7 reloads on my 338LM brass with pretty hot loads (90gr H1000 w/ 300gr Berger). With my Norma, after about 3-4 they're done.
I'm not into forming brass when formed brass is commercially available - too much hassle!
