[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 655728, member: 505"] The 338-300 RUM and 338 Lapua loaded to the same pressures are virtually identical performance wise. The Lapua is typically faster because people tend to load the Lapua brass a little hotter with the same or better case life. The lapua is the better cartridge for several reasons. The 338 RUM has slightly less powder capacity than either of the other two but not much and performance between the three are all so close individual barrels make more diffence than there is between the cartridges. If the plus P changes performance it would be the same change with all of them so again basically all about the same. They are all so close either will do anything the other two will. All are equally accurate and share many of the same accuracy loads. [/QUOTE]
