Another 300 Norma Magnum.
Since selling my last one I've been wanting to build another 300 Magnum, I wasn't sure if it would be another 300 Norma or a 300 Lapua Magnum.
I imported some Petersen brass & tested it in a 300 Norma mag I put together for the purpose, it is much better than Hornady, Bertram & Norma brass
A hunting trip next weekend forced my hand & this one showed up from Scott on Friday so I got busy to put it all together & get going this weekend.

It was being a little difficult & didn't really love the Berger 215 & 230 Target Hybrids so today I tried some Hornady 212 ELDXs & away she went :)

It was looking pretty good so we took it for a walk this arvo to take some pics & bust some rocks at distance to check the data, lucky it only has a 26" barrel.

It was a great success & hopefully I can get some terminal performance data for the 212 ELDX next weekend :)
