[QUOTE="jbenevides89, post: 2287217, member: 115892"] I like my .338 Lapua. At sealevel I can push the 300 Bergers over 2800fps with RL33. The cases are a little shorter than the RUM so you have a little more room to play with mags. Everything is readily available and there is no fireforming cases. I have been pounding on my Lapua brass and its holding up fine. If you want to drop to the lighter bullets you can really pump some speed out and still have plenty of energy. There will always be something better out there. Pick something that fills your needs and is easy to load for. Barrel life is something else I consider too. If it came down to 2 rounds to do the same job and one eats a barrel in a thousand rounds because I have to push it hotter to do it I would seriously consider the other option. [/QUOTE]
