You know my post above is from the 10/16/08 and since then I had that same rifle re barrelled to .358 Norma Mag.
And since then I have purchased a commercial `98 action which as I type is having a 308 Norma M barrel screwed in amongst other jobs,the reason being is that they are a ripping calibre,hard,flat and fast,besides 300 Win mags are too common ( I have one too) and its nice to be out of a different mould at times.
Gryphon,
Yea. I saw it was some time ago but decided to add to it. Great work on building another .308 NM, it's a great calibre. I had a .358 NM many, many years ago in, of all things a Weatherby Mk V. Only had it for a short time but took it on one hunt to Backall (Qld) after pigs. It certainly laid them flat. I loaded 220 Gr FN bullets for that hunt.
I like something different too. Now have a .375 Chatfield-Taylor (inventor of the more popular .416 Taylor), essentially a 338 Win Mag opened to .375. I'll get some loads going for this after I have settled with the .308 NM.
