Could someone please explain the difference between these 3 calibres? If I buy a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle can I load it with either Win Mag .338 or Norma Mag .338 and vice versa?
Thanks in advance.

Not interchangeable as they have different case geometry so they can't be swapped between each other.

Hasn't the US just gone with the Norma mag for their sniper rifles..?? could mean more avaiablity of components in the future..?
