[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1463448, member: 103874"] I would pick the Norma hands down. I see a few significant advantages: -Lapua brass (big advantage) -Military adoption means continued support and popularity -Shorter case length means you can seat bullets further out to take better advantage of the capacity while still fitting in a long action/CIP magazine -Well known reputation for being easily tunable and extremely accurate The one potential con of the Norma is that it requires a Lapua bolt face, which may limit your action choices. Both chamberings will require you to reload in order to take full advantage of their performance. I run a 40 degree improved 300 Norma and it routinely shoots 230 Bergers sub 0.5 MOA with very minimal load development. Velocity is around 3060 in Norma brass with good case life. I suspect the Lapua brass will allow 3100+ with even better case life. [/QUOTE]
