Good luck getting them on a regular basis.
Was using the .270cal LRAB for a bit in my wby mag, not so easy to come by at least where I live.

The near 1.5" OAL means you may have serious trouble stabilizing them in your factory barrel let alone seating them

i'd be interested to hear from anyone who's tried them. might be one for the 6.5-284 and 26 Nosler crowd but I don't know

I would definately say they had the 26 Nosler in mind when they were developing it.

sst has a bc of a house brick compared to this thing .520 but if you're only shooting out to 500 or so not a problem

with this bc .719 and around 2800fps it puts a 260R right in the same game as the 7mm mag with 168vld or even

the 180vld out to a 1000+ even has less wind drift only slightly but it puts right alongside less boom less powder

sounds good to me .

O.K O.k I was trying to not come and say this but I've found Norma projectiles to be a load of stinking horse crap and have never lived up to their hype in the past so why believe it now IMHO !!!!! As you can tell I'm not a fan of Noslers
Maybe you could put a few more grains behind it like 5 or so
Ohhh that's right your 260 cases are already full of Course :lol: :D :lol:

Ooops Noslers was what I was talking about SORRY, we were using them in a 308 and 223 and found they weren't opening up as planned so we've scrapped them... They might be great as a target round ??? But as hunting rounds we found them lacking ... that was just what I meant in my previous posts!!!!But if there working for you then more power to you deye???? Good Luck :thumbsup: :clap: :thumbsup:

There has been a box of 175gr 7mm on the shelf at one of my LGS for a while now.

I've very tempted to try, seriously not looking forward to any load development again though so haven't bothered so far.

Tempted to give them a try eventually though.
