Thread: 308 norma magnum

No, he's my ex nieghbor from south Waikato. He and his wife are touring the south isle. I did live in qt for about 3-4 yrs but got the hell out as its far too plastic for my taste. Good hunting once out past the loopy boundrys

Going through an old thread I realised I didn't post a pic of the rifle.

It now wears a sig sauer

They are extremely accurate and rated as the best designed 30 cal magnum, being very powder efficient and having longer neck than the win mag. Around 70-71 grain IMR4831 behind a 180grain will give between 2950- 3000fps. Never had scope or recoil problems with mine. Most recoil problems are due to wrong heel - toe angle at the butt; if the toe pressures more than the heel on your shoulder you will get whacked with almost ant centrefire or shotgun. Hornady make good dies for this cal. NZ Ammo are wholesalers for norma brass.

Yea, I only feel the recoil at the range, probably cos I'm thinkin too much.
Out on the hill, I'm too busy huntin to feel it so it's all good.
I don't want to an anti-socialiser on it ( gotta think of the pooch).

Max loads for 300win mag are overloads for 308 Norma mag. The 308Nmag is a more efficient cartridge and uses less powder for similar performance.
