I trust that this finds you well on this snowy afternoon sir - well it's snowy up here anyway.
There is and was absolutely no need for any apology as far as I'm concerned.
It's an easy path to go down seeing as both Brian and I chose to start our respective online handles with a "BC", physically we're only a few hours apart and from what I've seen of photos of Brian we share the same basic haircut....
While it might seem counterintuitive, with regard to Dober's comment about Norma's running a bit behind a Winchester, that hasn't been our experience. Admittedly though I've only chronoed a few examples of each and haven't done anything close to an exhaustive study.
As mentioned earlier by a few others such as my respected cyber friend greydog, the Norma is an easy fit in a standard Mauser length action and that was the reason I initially began to play with the cartridge.
Of course there is no magic to it, but again we've found it to be a useful round for hunting our backyard mountains.
All the best to you tex_n_cal in the upcoming weekend.
Regards,
Dwayne
