Never liked the 6.8, also said it was the answer to an unasked question.

Several of he 6.5s can outperform the 300 Win Mag. The belted magnum is a p roblem that irritates with the unexplained flyer, reason why so many now headspace off the shoulders and ignore the belt.

Did I mention I like the Norma over the Lapua, and did I add that it outperformed the Lapua during the PSR competition some years back?

PS, cheaper too.
In my book, you cant go wrong with a company named for a damn fine opera. Norma is a fantastic manufacturer whose founders knew a thing about music. After hearing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSodSvo1Lg the brothers had no hesitation in naming their new company after Bellini's masterpiece.
