[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 641369, member: 10306"] if you dont want to do much brass prep you are left with the .338 RUM, .338 Lapua, Norma, .338-.378 Wby, the Lazzeroni's(crazy pricey though). The .338 Edge is easy, just need custom dies. When you step up to the improved cases most of the time you only need fire forming, which isnt a real big deal. My preffrence if I were to go improved would be the .338 AX. It is the biggest configuration of the .338 Lapua case, which means fireform once and your brass can be good for 20+ fireings if your good to it. The .338 Allen Mag is the top dog. It (apperantly) makes 1k shooting easy, but comes at a cost. That cost being wieght, $$$ and barrel life. but so sweet. it'll get you to 2000 yards if its well set up. That being said I believe that Kirby (owns APS and the creator of the Allen Mags) has headstamped, ready to go brass. just load em up. All that out of the way, if I had your budget I would go for a .338 AX. I would talk to my smith about components that he likes. [/QUOTE]
