Lapua's new 300 and 338 Norma mag brass

[Davidb187]

Hi Gentlemen! As the title says : Lapua's releasing 300 and 338 Norma mag brass for 2018!

 

[JBT47]

This is truly great news to me.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

As soon as someone knows neck thickness I'd love to hear about it

 

[Drop Port]

Anyone interested in a couple hundred new 338 Norma cases?

 

[FatBoy]

this pretty much seals the deal for a 300NM build. That is, unless it's $3 per stick.

 

[Grimstod]

Usually Lapuas prices are better then Normas.

But they won't make 300WSM, go figure!

Not sure don't quote me but i think Peterson will this year.

300nm brass can only give me 5-7 firing..been (torture) testing a necked down 423 dakota lapua brass to 300nm.i load them sometimes till i get ejector marks or flat primer...15-17x so far still tight pocket...im pretty confident that 300nm lapua brass going to be strong

You have some lapua nm cases on hand? Mind giving a load neck diameter? Thanks

Alex, based on a small sample I have here at my desk, both calibers are running right at .015". The 338 seems to be a bit smaller, running .0145"-.0150". First run, but they should all be right in this ballpark.

Any time frame of when the public might see some?

 

[KevinThomas]

We have a small supply of samples on hand right now, and should be getting our first production run in before too long. Can't say exactly when, but it shouldn't be too long.

Measured some Norma brand 338 Norma brass that I just received from the Bullets.com sale. Neck thickness was between 0.013" - 0.014" on all of them that I measured. None were over 0.014" and most were 0.0135". Guess I need to keep an eye on the neck measurement of the no-turn reamer used to cut my chamber?

Any updates on the 338 Norma brass availability from Lapua? Custom reamer is done and the barrel is chambered, now just waiting on BRASS & custom dies.

^^^ And a year later still waiting on brass from Lapua...
