[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 995786, member: 14053"] Yes! Anytime you dump a lot of powder down a smaller hole it is harder on barrels. I am guessing barrel life in the Lapua would be twice that of a big 30. It depends on what you want to do with the gun and how far you want to do it. I have shot both and for longrange energy there is no comparison. If I was hunting a lot of elk it would be the 338 Lapua. If I was hunting far it would be the Lapua. When it comes to seeing wash and impacts the difference is significant. I don't use the OTM but use the Elite. As long as you are not pushing them over 3000 you will be ok. With R33 the Lapua is capable of reaching 3000 in some guns. Depends on throats and barrels. Matt [/QUOTE]
