[QUOTE="bgouin, post: 368860, member: 5625"] LTLR, I have considered the 338 RUM as well. I have about 15 boxes of Weatherby and Norma factory loaded ammo plus about 300 empty Weatherby/Norma and Norma cases. It appears, from most of the load data that I have seen, that the 338 RUM is about 50 fps faster than the 340 WM, so this would be only a slight step up in performance. I have also heard that the Remington brass is not as good as the Norma which is not as good as the Lapua. I'd like to clear my current inventory of loaded ammo first. I believe that my gunsmith can remove a couple of turns off of the barrel shank, re-thread and re-ream with a 338 RUM for a clean chamber. The proof will be in the accuracy and my ability. This rifle is light (10-11 lbs. with scope) for a true LRH rifle, but should give me much better capibility than the original factory rifle which would not print better than 2-4 MOA. It had a non-concentric barrel to chamber alingment plus a thin wimpy factory barrel. [/QUOTE]
