[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 64501, member: 2852"] The main difference in terms of Ultra long range accuracy between the .338 Ultra and the .338 Lap Mag improved is quality of brass. The Lapua imp holds more powder, but not quite as much as the .338-.378 improved. I researched the crap out of all the possible wildcats for this project, including calculating powder-to-bore ratios, and the Lapua imp was the most efficient and inherently accurate combo I could find. It gives up about 100 fps to the .338-.378 Improved, but should give better barrel life. And we saw that 100 fps at 2000 yards is easy to compensate for, it's the consistency that is really critical. Interestingly, comparing the .338 Lap AI to the 6.5-.284, they are almost identical proportionately. In other words, they should exhibit similiar barrel life and accuracy potential. [/QUOTE]
