[QUOTE="Broz, post: 510825, member: 7503"] Thanks for the explanation. These days I tend to think of everything with the larger bullets. I load up the ladder until I see pressure or find the accuracy node. I just have not been able to get the .338 Rum up to the velocity of my Lapua. But you are correct. The RUM will do everything needed in this velocity group caliber. If someone would make some RUM "Lapua quality" brass things would be different. The .338 / 300 Rums I have experience with were just a tad faster than my Lapua. Like 30 ~40 FPS. But again brass life was not even close to the Lapua. This was all with Rem Brass and again if there was a tougher option for brass I suspect things to be diferent. Or like you said smaller bullets and different powders. I have had such great luck with H-1000 in .338's I always go to it first. Thanks! Jeff [/QUOTE]
