[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 532653, member: 2736"] The ballistics of the 338 RUM is equal to the Lapua if loaded normally and superior to the 338 win mag. It is easy to load, cost a lot less to by ammo or brass, requires a standard magnum bolt face. The 338 Lapua is superior in brass quality and toughness but it is expensive and requires a very large ( .588 ) bolt face and poshes the .700 diameter bolts to there limits. If I were to build another Lapua, it would be a 300 Lapua 40o Improved because the 338 RUMs take care of my 338 needs. Just an opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
