Both are good cartridge designs but each has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Like was posted before do a search and read the numerous other threads on the topic. Then draw your own conclusions.

You can buy factory (and quasi-factory like Southwest Ammo) match ammo in 338 LM - not sure about the Norma. May be a factor depending on your reloading situation.
