[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1158049, member: 7999"] OK, so you really want to know what I think....:D If I were you and not wanting to do any fire forming, I would go with the .338 Lapua. It will gain you about 100fps over the RUM. Give you much better brass, and it is shorter than the RUM, per your original post. Since you are going custom you should get a 9 twist barrel that can handle longer bullets. We have a 290g bullet that we have just started working on that would give you fantastic range past 1400y. And you would still not have to mess with fire forming. Steve [/QUOTE]
