The old 308Norma Mag is just as good, probably a bit more efficient than the 300WM.
Norma factory loads were accurate, 3 shots right on an inch at 100 yards. I tried reloading that cartridge for years without success using AR2209 - just didn't work!
Changed to AR2213SC under advice & the groups dropped remarkably, I've slightly bettered the factory loads - but I can do so now with 2 projectiles, the 178gn A-Max & 180gn flat base (Hornady); all to the same point of aim & at 3020 odd fps!
Not wrong about the sharp recoil Homer....yes I'll have to get a new pad for mine as well.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread - again another cartridge that could be out there a lot more if marketed better!
