[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 643640, member: 9253"] Case capacity in grains H20: 308 Norma Mag - 86.5 300 Win Mag - 93.8 300 Norma Mag - 103.0 300 Rem Ultra - 112.5 30-378 Wby - 133.0 I don't consider the 300 Norma or even the 300 Rem Ultra as severely overbore. Not like a 223 WSSM or a 264 Win Mag. Even a 30-378 Wby barrel can last a lifetime of occasional big game hunting. I wouldn't choose any of those as an "only rifle". Practicing with something smaller but with a similar trajectory makes sense. The advantage of the 300 Norma over the 300 Rem Ultra is that it has enough room (1.1" magazine length minus case length) to shoot VLD bullets versus only 0.75" in factory rifles like a Rem 700. I don't own a 300 Norma Mag but I have a 338 Norma Mag which has about the same advantage over a 338 Rem Ultra. [/QUOTE]
