[QUOTE="Guest, post: 28516"] The base diameter is approx. .586 with the shoulder diameter .544. The distance from the base to the shoulder is 2.161 and to the bottom of the neck 2.397 with 20 degree shoulder. The case should hold a few more grains than the 338 RUM and be slightly more effecient being that it is shorter and fatter. The draw back is that you have to have a larger bolt face and possibly action to use it. If money is a factor I think the RUM would do just about anything the Lapua would do and you could use a factory Rem 700 action.
