[QUOTE="esorensen, post: 2479767, member: 4302"] Now that Lapua makes 300WM brass, no reason to move away from it. Several other boutique brass manufacturers out there, so there’s other options. I have had a RUM for decades, but recently went with the 300 PRC. 82.5 of VV N570/215M/Lapua (max in my rifle) got 3005 fps with the 245 Berger and a sub 1/4” three shot group during workup. 30” 8 twist. The PRC just seems to sit at mag length with the long VLD type bullets better. Still not doing anything the 300 WM wont do. The RUM is a whole different critter, as that 30” barrel will easily walk away 200+ fps faster with same bullet and RL 33 powder. Kind of ridiculous with those long barrels and a 9” TBAC can hanging off the end, but the performance (especially at my altitudes) makes me giggle. We love to split hairs in this hobby. I shoot the PRC way more than the RUM. The extra performance of the RUM comes at the expense of significantly increased barrel wear. [/QUOTE]
