[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2555604, member: 103996"] I’d skip both personally. To me the PRC isn’t really that special of a round. Other rounds do what it does and have been around for longer, which means more loading data available. I usually don’t consider 30 cals and 338’s competitors. If you need the 33 call you wouldn’t consider a 30. If you can do it comfortable with a 30, I wouldn’t want to lug around the weight and recoil that comes with a lapua, since I don’t use a break (my profession requires me to have impeccable hearing and brakes are extremely loud to the shooter and spotter. Nothing against those who use them I just really need to protect my ears) If you need the 338, go for it. If you don’t, don’t even consider it. They’re incredibly heavy, loud, expensive, recoil like crazy, and all the other things that make me want a gun ;) If you don’t need the lapua, but want a 33 cal anyway, a better option would be a 325 wsm, 338 weatherby, 338 win mag, etc. 33 nosler is a great option for beltless but a little underpowered so if you don’t mind doing a little fire forming you could go with one of the 33 nosler hybrids that’s actually a necked up 28 nosler, for the little extra case capacity that the 28 has, there’s other 33 cal beltless options that are great too and don’t require the extra weight of the lapua boldface platforms [/QUOTE]
