    Twist Rate - 300 Norma

    The only load data I have been able to find for 300 NM is from Sierra. Are there any other sources you know of and/or can suggest?

    Twist Rate - 300 Norma

    For those of you that have experience with a 300 Norma Magnum what twist rates are you running and what bullets? I’m really wanting to use the 245 Berger’s or the 250 A-Tips. Barrel length will be somewhere around 27-28” finished and was thinking of a...

    Twist Rate - 300 Norma

    lowlight, Thank you for the much needed information. Here’s the problem I’m running into. I have everything I need right now to build this rifle, and the option between two barrels. One is a 1:8.5” twist and the other is a 1:10” twist. I originally was only going to run Berger 230’s but have...

    Powder for 6.5PRC?

    I would love to get some N565! Unfortunately everywhere I check has the same result. “Out of stock”

    300 Norma Magnum

    Found some good load data from Vihtavuori’s website for 300 Norma Magnum but obviously can’t find any N565 or N570 powder due to ammogeddon. I have plenty of H1000 and IMR 7977 but can’t find any “reliable” load data. Anyone have any good start loads for these powders? Or have any reliable...

    .30-06 load data??

    Due to Ammogeddon 2020 this is what I have available. IMR 4451, CCI large rifle primers, and Barnes 168 grain TTSX bullets. I have not been able to find any published load data for this bullet/powder combination. I am fairly new to reloading so I’m not completely willing to follow my research...

    300 Norma

    Can you please send me info on the Mk2? I can’t find it on your website and if it’s anything like the Mk1 I would be interested.

    300 Norma

    You’re right and I should have researched more before commenting. I actually need a LA CIP bottom metal that accepts the .338 Lapua magazines. This is all new territory for me so I am trying to learn as fast as I can, order parts that are sold out as fast as I can, to wait as long as it takes...

    300 Norma

    Just curious what your twist rate is in your barrel. I have the option of a 1 in 10” or a 1 in 8.5”. I’m leaning towards the 8.5” for the 230 grain bullets.

    300 Norma

    Thanks for the information. I was looking at a Manners stock and a Surgeon XL bottom metal with an AI .338 magazine. But I didn’t know if this combo would work as I have never shot or built anything larger than a 300 WM. Sounds like it should run just fine though and I am sure Chad and the crew...

    300 Norma

    Thinking about building a 300 Norma. Was just curious if anyone else has had one custom built and what bottom metal and magazines work best. I currently have a Mausingfield that I was going to re-barrel so the magazines would need to be center feed. Any help or experience would be appreciated...
