.358 Norma Magnum in a BLR
« on: May 07, 2006, 05:05:04 AM »
think it's doable? would have to start with a .300 Win Mag most likely. there's just something about this cartridge that appeals to me, i can't explain why for the life of me...

It's been done!

Bill Leeper in BC/Alta did it a couple of years ago.

I've never liked the feel if the long action BLR's - I guess I got spoiled by the short action model.

If, however, I were to buy one, I thing the .358 Norma would be the ideal cartridge to do it in.

Why bother?

The new BLRs are now available in .325 Winchester Magnum. It's 99% of the fun for 10% of the pain. They are also making the rifle in .450 Marlin if you want a short range super-stomper.
