[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1100732, member: 1290"] The Lapua and the Rum's are my bread and butter. The Lapua is far more popular not only for the brass quality but availability. Rum brass can be very hard if not impossible to find. For the barrel, the choice is simple. My go to, never fail barrel is the Bartlein 5R in 9.5 twist. A distant second choice is Krieger. No one comes close to Bartlein's tolerances. If your determined to have a button rifled barrel; believe it or not, PacNor is my first choice. My personal Tac338 Lapua wears a 30" in 5R 9.5 twist in my own custom profile. You would swear that rifles bullets are self guided. With the Adj A5 and 32x scope it weighs 15 pounds even. The Lapua gets 2960 fps with the Berger 300. If that barrel ever gives up it will get a Bartlein. [/QUOTE]
