    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    What kind of groups and consistency were you seeing from 338 Lapua? Was it the same rifle you re-barreled from Lapua to Norma or a different rifle?

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    Is it true that .338 Norma is noticeably more consistent when shooting 300 grain bullets than .338 Lapua? Is it also true that for 250 grains the difference between the two is insignificant?

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    Based on what I read on the hide and elsewhere, it has been alleged that .338 norma is more precise (more consistent) than .338 Lapua. I can't say that I understand the internal ballistics well enough to understand why, but loosely speaking, as I understand it, the Norma casing looks more more a...

    Is it possible to remove a TRG-42 barrel without making a relief cut?

    Which Brownells external action wrench did you use? They have a bunch of them but none seem to be specific to TRG. Did you use the "universal" model?

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    I am not familiar with .338 Norma Improved. Is it a wildcat variant of the .338 Norma? I am also confused about the barrel life, there seems to be conflicting information on the subject. Some say that .338 Norma is twice the longevity of .338 lapua? The .300 norma is faster, so it has to wear...

    Is it possible to remove a TRG-42 barrel without making a relief cut?

    Has anyone succeeded in removing the TRG-42 barrel without making a relief cut? My rifle is brand new, and I don't want to waste a perfectly good factory barrel. I can make a pretty substantial cheater bar, if necessary. I can make it 4-5 feet long, if need be. My question is: will a barrel...

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    Is .300 Norma any cheaper to shoot, if you handload? Factory ammo seems to be very similar to .338 NM and .338 NM

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    I should take a closer look at 300 norma. Thanks for the suggestion.

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    The manual that came with the rifle says twist: 12" RH, 305 mm. I have not verified it.

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    2012 or 2013. I'd probably sell the takeoff barrel.

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    I have a brand new, unfired TRG-42 in .338 Lapua. It sat in my safe for a while, and I never got to shoot it. I am considering converting the rifle to .338 Norma. Based on what I read on the hide it seems like an improvement over the .338LM. If I am going to buy all the gear and start reloading...

    Zeiss LRP S3 4-25 vs MARCH 4.5-28

    BTW, you don't need to cut a scope up to measure the wall thickness of its body. Ultrasound measurement devices work fine for this purpose. Any good engine shop that does engine block oversize boring has one, if they are diligent about their product. Not all castings were created equal. That's...

    How was the Remington quality circa 2017-2018?

    Asking $600, I suspect I can get it for less.

    How was the Remington quality circa 2017-2018?

    How serious are the problems? Are receivers and bolts ever a problem area? Since the price is so sweet, I can I just get a barrel blank and re-barrel and accurize it? I do own a South Bend heavy 10 metal lathe, a mini mill and a surface/tool and cutter grinder...
