[QUOTE="436, post: 661611, member: 16609"] I've never heard that, but that doesn't mean it isn't thicker. Here's all I find on the question, in this they list the Rim Diameter as "unknown" for the .338 NM and leave out the "thickness".. as well???? Yet they say the parent case is the .416 Rigby Perhaps Ward might know. 436 .338 Norma Magnum cartridge.
