Hi Guys

If norma should build cases for 300 rum
how many of you guys could think of buying
say about 500 cases?

The need for speed!

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put me down: Actually I've been waiting for Winchester or Federal to start making this brass so I can form cases for a family of "intermediate length" wildcat magnums with a case length of 58mm and a COL of 3.150" I wouldn't even consider putting that much time into "Rummystone" brass. Norma would be fantastic as I plan to base the reamers and dies on the actual brass dimensions, and my experience with Norma has been that they are extremely close to if not exactly SAMMI specs. (Unlike everyone else) The Idea is for a WSM class cartridge with a neck about .400" long for more flexibility with heavier bullets while allowing the sam COL for lighter pills. The shoulder would be moved .050 forward to prevent chambering in a WSM chamber. These rounds would not chamber in a "short" action, but would be perfect in an "Intermediate length" large ring M98 action such as the 2 VZ500 (virgin) actions I happen to have They would also work in standard length M98 with no mods to the mag well, not to mention standard length sporters. Is this just conjecture or do you know something?

Shameless ploy to move this to the top in order to get attention

Another shameless attempt to get some respose to this thread!

if the price was reasonable i'd like to have 5000 for myself and my dealer said he'd take 20,000!

So Taylor, what gives? Do you know about something? After all you are from Sweden right? I heard that Norma was going to form WSM brass from 404 Jeffries. It would seeem logical that they would do RUM brass also.

Yes i spoke to them today and it looks like they are going for the wsm
I am trying to make them consider the 300 rum, maybe it would have to be a custom order from me, thats the reason i whant to here how many of u guys could order minimum 500 cases.
Because i have to order a lot, for them to start production,being that not many swedes
use the 300rum.

Im in for 500

Well, I'd buy 100 right now and probably a few hundred the next few years...but not 500 right now.

But, at least I got it to the top for ya

I'd buy a 100 right now. I'm still waiting for my rifle to be finished being built, so I wouldn't commit to more at the present time. I would jump at the chance to get some of that brass though.

Yes, I will buy 500. I also work at a gun shop and know several customers that would buy some. Try asking here too.

Hi guys
Spoke with norma today and yes it could be done. But the pize is to expencive, they would cost at least 2$ a case.
And the volume to order is huge.
So it dosnt look to good!

WSM from a 404. That would be saum from remington. The wsm is not based on the 404. It is its own case.

Has anyone thought of Bell? I think they're minimum is 5000 and I'd take 500 of those if the prices were around the price of their 378 basic.
