[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 468406, member: 505"] You have an excellent lightweight rifle. One of my lapuas is a 26" barrel at 9 pounds scoped out. It has a 1-12 twist for shooting the 225 AB. My accuracy load is well over 3300 fps and a pleasure to shoot at what most would call long range. The Sierra loading manual lists three loads at 2750 fps for the 338 RUM with the 300 smk out of a standard rem 700 26" barrel. Most will push them to 2800 fps out of that barrel according to my tests done back in 2001. So about the same thing as the 338 Lapua. If a guy wants to push the Lapua it is faster by a little probably because of the brass taking way higher pressures. But basically there is hardly any difference between the two as far as performance. Or there wasn't in all the ones shot on my range anyway. [/QUOTE]
