not for nothing, but it looks like they "copied" the 500 AR !!!  no ballastics on the norma page, but listed in the norma catalog, as well as a 375! oh boy, if the luddits didn't like the 375 ruger, they are going to HATE the 375 lapua brass for sale http://catalog.ammodepot.com/i...p?itemnumber=NU338NM ammo for sale https://www.dakotaammo.net/sho...8&osCsid=e60412398d7

Hi Steffen-9,3, don´t think it´s a .416Rigby...this has been don some years ago named .300Phenix and wasn´t a sucsess.... To get a 338Lapua performance it has to be a case like the Lapua (stronger web) with a higher max.allowed pressure. A .375 would be a better idea....it´s a way better balance of case-capacity to bullet-Diam. Best 2RECON | |||

Found some Info on www.6mmbr.com Looks like it is 2.49" long, and with a 20,5° Shoulder.....poor design Nothing different than a .338Lapua shortened to fit a .30-06 size action .....ok, with the problem of a real big boltface-diam.... Best 2RECON | |||

With the new Bofors powders and the Ake designed bullets it delivers exactly the same trajectory as the .338 Lapua but from a round that fits into a standard action. Black Hills stock the cases in the USA and Clymer the reamers. As Norma is ared from producing ammunition for military use, you will probably get loaded ammo from RUAG as well. | |||

Well el Jeffe whoever sells these guns they will be great candidates for the 500 AR! just a rebarrel and make it recoil proof. Also they did not do a 458 so a shorter version of the 458 BS will be easy just neck up the 375 norma to 458. 458-375 Norma or 458 BS 2.5" I think they just made the 458 BS an easy conversion now  The 458 2.65" 338 lapua or 458 BS will have the edge though. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.
