[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 667300, member: 17844"] Both 338's have similar case capacity so barrel life would be about the same using the same powder type . Lapua brass comes from Europe , parent case 416 Rigby and 338 Edge brass is local in the US , parent case 300 RUM . I reckon it would be way cheaper to load a 338 Edge than a 338 Lapua and brass supply more reliable as you don't know what the Europeans might do in the future as far as exports go. The Lapua has a big reputation mainly because of all the top end Military sniper rifles and snipers that use it . I am considering a shortend 300 RUM at the moment as brass will be much easier to get over here. Go the Edge . [/QUOTE]
