Norma 308 Win Cases (100)

Description

308 Winchester

This is the sporting version of 7,62x51mm NATO. It was introduced by Winchester in 1952 – only a year after the new NATO cartridge. As most other military cartridges it was expected to become popular for hunting quickly and Winchester wisely decided to make a civilian version with their name.

The purpose of the new military design was to make a more compact cartridge with a quicker cycle rate than the .30-06, and enabling a soldier to carry more rounds. It also has excellent accuracy potential and is favored by many target shooters. As the .308 Winchester fits into short bolt actions and delivers almost the same energy as the .30-06 with medium weight bullets it has become one of the most popular cartridges in the world.

Norma 308 Winchester cases take the Large Rifle Primer.

Norma Brass

Norma cases are made of the best possible raw materials with the narrowest tolerances, and they deliver accuracy round after round. Superior quality ensures a long life, and many reloads.

The case neck is annealed to become softer. This prevents gas leaks and enables the case to hold the bullet firmly for at least 10 years without cracking as a result of aging material.

Further down on the case body, the hardness increases to avoid unnecessary stretching. If it is too hard, it would bring the risk of cracks.

Furthest down, around the primer pocket, the brass should be firm. Here, the hardness is nearly twice that of around the neck.
