[QUOTE="Kalashnikov, post: 256641, member: 5730"] You are correct that the initial cost of 338 Lapua brass is more expensive than the standard Remington 300 RUM, but considering I have loose primer pockets with my (300) RUM brass after 3 firings, and the Lapua case has been reported to have 10-15 reloads (I have yet to confirm this but all reports suggest the same), you will be much farther ahead in terms of $ with the Lapua case in the long run, which turns into quite a deal considering it's the best brass available for consistency and durability. An affordable drop-in is the HS precision DBM, which is a center feed that works very well on my custom M700 338 LM (started out as a factory MLR 338LM). I originally planned on building a 338 Edge, but in my 300 RUM's the brass life has been poor. The lapua brass is reason enough to go 338 LM, IMO.
