    .308 Norma mag

    Can any one out there shed any light on the "new" .308 Norma mag? Any info would be handy. An also is there any rifle manufacturers that produce a rifle in this caliber?

    Do you mean 300 norma mag? Or the 308 norma mag? Which is a belted case. You dont need to neck down 338 norma mag cases as norma make 300 brass.

    I don't have that magazine so can't see what you mean but hasn't the 308 Norma magnum been about since the early sixties, I had an idea it predated the 300 winchester Magnum

    .308 Norma Magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    .308 Norma mag is not a new calibre, been around since 1960! Only Norma make factory ammo for it, they pop up on TM every now and then.

    Cheers guys for the help. Was unaware it has been around that long, it just says "new" in there ad? Will do some more seaching! So i take it most rifle makers would do this calibre?

    No, probably the opposite, most don't chamber it I would say...

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
