[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 247600, member: 2736"] Good logic. The 338 Win Mag does great in a lighter rifle with a muzzel break out to about 700 or 800yrds. The 338 RUM will extend the range to 1100 yrds using 1500 ft/lbs as the limiting energy @ the point of impact. The 338 Lapua is a blistic twin to the 338 RUM, But components are more expensive and the Lapua requires the larger bolt face like the 338/378 and not recomended for the remingtion size bolt. The 338/378 will add 100yrds to 200 yrds to the RUM and the Lapuas range but brass is expensive and a larger action is also required. The price of the 338 win mag and the 338 RUM is about the same in a custom rifle, the Lapua and the Weatherby will cost more to biuld and feed. I hope this helps in making your decision.
