[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1379822, member: 2736"] A good cartridge will never go away as long as shooters load for them. The 338 RUM and the 338 Lapua are for all practical purposes ballistic equals if loaded to the same pressures. The RUM uses the standard magnum bolt face and can be chambered on almost any action. The Lapua however needs a larger action (In My Opinion) because of the larger bolt face requirements and the higher bolt thrust. The recoil in the same weight rifle with the same weight bullets will be the same in both. ( I would recommend A "Good" muzzle for both) because with 250 and 300 grain bullets recoil can/will be brisk. The 338 RUM or the 338 Lapua are great rounds/cartridges and will do anything that is needed of a 338. Get what you want J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
