Yes And the 300 Norma Mag has a 30" MTU barrel, added weight in the stock, is 4'6" long and weighs 21 pounds. It was built to shoot. The .338 LM was built to hunt. 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available

Saw an un-braked 338 Lapua dislodge the reticle in a Leupold VX-5 in 3 shots. It was painful to shoot. I don’t hunt anything big enough for a 338 Lapua to be necessary but that is cool as heck!
