Thread: 308 norma magnum

I have an offer of a 308 Norma magnum available to me, but am wondering can u still buy the ammo for it . Or even the brass.

Norma still make brass and factory ammo for it, I think guncity (horrors!) have some and gunworks have brass.

308 Norma Mag Norma 180gr Soft Point

Gunworks Ltd - 308 Norma Mag

Great calibre, expensive to set up but on you have brass and dies no more than any other .30 calibre.

Workshop Innovation have the cheapest brass at $98 for 50.

Go for it, rare calibres are

H&K man on here has one. Maybe worth sending pm

I believe the cases can be made by necking up 7mm Rem mag or necking down 338 Win mag, it's a great calibre i knew a couple of guy's back in the day that had them very good long range hunting round every bit as good
as the 300 Win mag. Robert.

Necked down 338 win mag - 308 Norma is basically a 30-338

Just rung gun city bout ammo. 124 dollars for 20 180 gr rounds. No brass available. I'm tempted to buy it but it might sit in the cupboard a fair bit . Apparently they blow scopes apart regularly too

Wouldn't reckon they would break good quality scopes any more than the other belted magnums.
Gunworks and workshop innovation have brass.
If you don't take it and its a good deal pass in the details, I might be keen!

Broke the reticle in a S&B 1.25-4 with my 358 Norma mag years ago so it must be true

Never had an issue with scopes on my 30-338. Even an old weaver k4 survived.

Just bought it. Thort to myself, why not, only live once. Will need dies now as too dear to buy factory ammo

Bet you some one at gun city told you bout the scope.

good on ya, 308 Norma, always liked the idea.
Parker Hale is it?
