[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 1249251, member: 10306"] If you need a .338, and that a big IF, I would go with a standard Lapua Magnum unless you have about an extra 1k. I know that it is easy enough to fire form most of the Lapua improved cases but to do it every time you need to resize is a pain, unless you get custom dies or a hydro former. Both cost $$$. I would personally sink that money into reloading gear and bullets or better rifle components. Plain Jane Lapua isn't going anywhere and until you hit a very high level of shooting you wont notice the difference. If I were in your shoes I would spend the coin on bullets and reloading gear now, and when you actually hit the threshold of wanting to shoot farther, then go down that road with a new rifle. especially at the rate that the LR industry is advancing.
