    .338 Norma....track record?

    I’d be interested to know what magazines you are using in that 338 Norma and if they are for a Norma or lapua.

    .338 Norma....track record?

    Shooting berger EH 250’s, not lubing the necks. I actually think I found a solution. The issue was that I’m running lapua mags and the crimps in the mags are too far forward in the mag and allowing the rounds to move too far. It doesn’t appear that anyone makes a 338 CIP length Norma mag. I...

    Bullet seating deeper under recoil

    There is about .980 between the tip and front of mag. After only two firings the remaining in the mag are pushed back on average .024 and the tips are flattened.

    Figures...it seems there’s no one that makes one like this. Thanks

    I called AI and they only make the 338 Norma mag for their AX chassis, not the single stack AI CIP length mag which is what fits my rifle. This desert tech mag looks like it may be the ticket. I am going to call them tomorrow to see if it will fit my rifle. Thanks for the lead!

    .338 Norma....track record?

    I’m leaning more towards modifying the magazine to hold the rounds in place. I prefer to shoot suppressed and this is when it’s the worst. It not only sets back the round but flattens the tip. This is where I believe crimping won’t make any difference. I’ll still have flattened tips at the very...

    .338 Norma....track record?

    I haven’t tried crimping. These are berger eh and aren't meant for crimping. I see that some people have done this however. I’m concerned about increased pressure. I’m loading with 91.5 grains and have noticed with sizing oil still on the case it shows signs of slight pressure from the extractor...

    Not sure. I’ll look into it. Problem with that I foresee is increased pressure. I’m already in the spectrum of max. Idea thrown at me was cushioning the inside front of the mag. Not sure how to go about it exactly yet if it would even work. There is room in there to work with.

    .338 Norma....track record?

    I know this is an old post but wondering if you guys have any insight. I have a 338 Norma Mag running AI, CIP length mags. Under recoil, with a brake the bullets are seating deeper into the case. Put a suppressor on and it mushrooms the tips. I have tried 2k and 4k neck tension with no luck...

I have tried 2k and 4k neck tension with no luck. I’ve tried stretching the spring in the magazine out, also with no luck. Does anyone have any...
