I wonder if anyone has done any wildcat from a 308 Norma? I would like to neck mine down to either a 6.5mm or .277 but I don't know if I want to spend the money to be the first to have it done. Apparently this is not a very popular cartridge to play with as I haven't found anything done with it. Dennis Life member NRA | ||

Well most people make their 308norma brass by necking down a 338Wmag. Which is the same case as the 7mmrem mag, the 264 Wmag. Bascially you would have the same as the factory cases with a little longer neck. People exchange loads between the 30-338 and 308Norma all the time. If you simply want a wildcat gor for it but you will not gain anything over the factory magnums. This comes from a guy currently building a 308 Norma and that loves his 358 Norma. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Not the Norma per se, but a lot based on the 338 Win Mag case. We have for instance the popular 7mm Rem Mag, and the ever popular 264 Win Mag. ![]() The .338 Win Mag necked up to 35, .375, or .416 are great spin offs using the almost Norma case. And Win mag brass is probably cheaper. | |||

would you actually have anything different from a 270 weatherby or a 264 win magnum? There's a strandard cartridge for the "308 Norma style" of cartridge in all calibers from .257 to .358 and a very popular wildcat in the .375 and .416. I'm not sure what's to be gained by additional wildcatting there. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
