- Yes, Ross Seyfried published an account of just such a beast in Guns&Ammo
- this past year. At the moment I cannot remember which issue. You can now
- get bulk Norma brass for the 416 Rigby from Midway for about $115 per 100
- cases. This is half of what the Old Western Scrounger is asking.
-
- Also isn't the .30 Lapua based on the 416 Rigby. Champions Choice carries
- brass for the .30 Lapua at about $150 to $250 per 100 cases.
