[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1019483, member: 13632"] If your contour is set up for a standard action with a nut your stuck, the issue is you'll have to cut the whole chamber of a Lapua of to chamber a RUM cases but that would mean you have a lot of straight shank to work with which you may but not many will, the RUM's are fine on a standard shank. There are some who have ran the Lapua on the standard shank and it's been fine BUT it's minimal at the very best, I would not use Lapua brass cause it will mask a lot of pressure, Norma brass will give you a better feel. I would keep things real conservative!! The issue is the chamber swelling and causing extraction issues and possibly breaking the nut. [/QUOTE]
