Team,

Very accurate round
Hits like a hammer
Had the 208amax going 3000fps
Dies can be a bitch to find.

Obviously R8 only, give 45 South a call :)
How many grains of powder burning for your 230gr hybrids?
Old news for sure but Norma 300 Blaser is two different offerings in one. @Doubleshot is it 300 Norma Mag or 300 Blaser Mag you are interested in? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?Quote:

This I'm very much looking forward to...
Its either.....Quote:

Or
300 norma magnum (338 lapua base dia)
I suspect both were developed by Norma with their own brass.
Low on recoil, fast and hit like a hammer usually don't go hand in hand
Try 162s in a saum :)Quote:

Nothing new, that caliber has been around for a few years now...
who has the reamer mate?
might have to give the 300wsm a hurry up :)

If yes, then he's even more full of shit than I thought.
It's a mean case/cal, accurate and pushes the 208's at decent speed. But you are definitely going to want a brake and/or can because the recoil in a sporter weight rifle is substantial.
Having a heavy barrel at either 24/26' made so all is good, he know's his stuff and has done some good work for me beforeQuote:

Yeah you've described a R8 rather well there.Quote:

Its very nice, but I wouldn't say it was "low on recoil"Quote:

I run 230gr Berger Tacticals out of mine on AR2217 and I'm getting about 2890fps. I accidentally brought mine (barrel came in a package deal) and I've not looked back. Had it at the range the other day and tested it with supressor, brake and nothing. You'll want either a supressor or a brake. I shoot tighter groups using a Terminator brake.
Definitely not low on recoilQuote:

What can a win mag spit a 208 at?
Roughly the same , if I was building a 300 magnum I would go for a 300 win mag as its a common chambering and you have a range of good brass and dies at reasonable prices to choose from
Yes but just like the 30-06 it has an extremely poor rep here...in the US.... well that's another story...Quote:

Still get 3k out of a win mag with 208s though dont ya?
I recall getting told off for suggesting that a wee while ago by NZs self appointed reloading Police.....:ORLY:Quote:

What does @Rushy throw them out at? From memory 208 was near 3000 if not more?
I have 300 blaser dies in stock here dies are not hard to find at all just need to know who to talk to brass aswell in stock
