[QUOTE="wvcountryboy, post: 716173, member: 28693"] Lapua brass is much better, I agree with that. It is $2.50 a piece where remington is $1. $2.50 isn't bad though when you compare it to weatherby at around $4 a pop. I went with the rum instead of the lapua because of the bolt face. I wanted to use my standard magnum action. I really haven't done much research on the edge. I don't know how much difference the .090" would make. It sure is easy to buy 338 rum brass that doesn't need any sizing or trimming. I shoot a 250 match king at 3150 fps. My brother-in-law has a 338 lapua improved and he shoots the 250 at 3170. He probablly could go more, I can't but at 20fps its not worth it to me. Forming brass either wasting bullets or going through the cream of wheat hassle. I would like to see what a regular lapua would do with the 250. [/QUOTE]
