.300 Norma magnum for hunting??

[stwcattle]

Emailed Lapua to inquire if 300 NM brass would be available soon, they responded with "Yes, in 2018". Hell yeah, hopefully it is all we've been wishing for.

I ordered a couple boxes of ABM 230s from Mile High before the confirmation from Lapua. Ouch its $$, hopefully its in Lapua brass.

ABM pricey but it shoots lights out in my rifle.

Just started testing with 225 ELD in my Norma IMP, Looks like 89 gr of N-570 can be a good start. 940 ms. Next will be a seating dept test.

I've read new batches of 300 norma from ABM are head stamped lapua brass! Peterson will also be manufacturing it in first quarter 18 they say.

Unfortunately the ABM 230 loads I got from mile high are in Norma brass.

Lapua already have 300 Norma in stock. 338 Norma will be available in 2-3 months. My local dealer here in Norway confirmed that i will receive the 200 i ordered in 2 weeks

That's fantastic! Good to hear it's getting into the hands of end users so soon.

Haven't heard anything like that, the cartridge has been CIP approved, but no support from Lapua or anyone else.

Excited for the new products tailored to the 300 norma this year. This 245 gr could be fun.

or pdf. You have any of the info? I'm interested in it, just curious as to what twist I'll need. I have my 300 norma improved awaiting action from Kelbly, currently planning on 28" proof 1:9.4, wonder if I'll need a 1:9 or tighter.

Page 5. No other info other than its 245 gr. I built a 1:8 for the 230 and just in case something heavier tripped my trigger.

The 240 smk says 1:9 or faster, and I bet the hybrid design of the eol will probably have similar or less bearing surface than the Sierra. I bet a 1:9 will work.
