[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 510940, member: 505"] If you are doing a remington action do the 338 RUM. It is the best fit on your action. I didn't see where you were converting a remington. Broz, I spent quite a lot of time with the RUM and Lapua case back in the 90's and shot numerous ones head to head. I have never seen a 338-300 RUM that would outshoot a 338 Lapua if they are both loaded hot. Loaded to same pressures they are the same rifle along with the 338 RUM. All those three are identical. But the Lapua brass can be loaded hotter therefore getting higher velocity. With all the tests I did the 338 Lapua on average will shoot 75 fps faster than the 338-300 RUM when both are loaded hot. That is why in 2001 when the 338 RUM came out I dropped the 338-300 RUM I had been doing since 1998 and went with the 338 RUM and 338 Lapua. There was just no sense in wildcatting the 338-300 RUM any more. [/QUOTE]
