[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 95691, member: 2852"] Sorry for getting you all riled up on guns again, but hey, there's worse things to be daydreaming about! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] These two cartridges are very similiar in speed when loaded by hand to top pressures. I didn't go and check the numbers on the energies, but I can tell you that if the comparison is at 400 yards and the Lapua is using Scenars and the RUM is using partitions or a basic lead nosed, flat based bullet, then the charts WILL tell you that the Lapua kicks butt. <font color="blue"> However, this is not because the cartridge is better, it is because the bullet is better. </font> The 250 grain Scenar has a bc of .675 and the basic doggy Remington bullet might make it into the low point two's-eerr 4's!? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] That's going to make a difference at 400 yards you can bet. [/QUOTE]
