[QUOTE="JRinCo, post: 356058, member: 14638"] I have both, a .300 RUM and a .338 RUM. Both will shoot .250 groups every time. I have taken allot of game with both rifles. I would't build a .338 Lapua, the brass is to expensive and it wouldn't do anything that a RUM won't do. If you want to do an edge you have to fire form brass, using up precious barrel life. If you have to make a comprise to make weight, use a McMillan HRT. If you want to use a good long range scope, the stock is the first place to lighten up. Whatever you do, don't use a slimmer barrel to make weight, however it's a good idea to use a flutted barrel. As soon as Berger comes out with their line of .338 bullets, this caliber is going to shine like never before. [/QUOTE]
