[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 810192, member: 2736"] If you are looking for a 338 sized cartridge the 338 Ultra mag will best the Lapua just a little. Brass will not be as good as the Lapua brass (But none is) but it is much cheaper. The 338 RUM will work with a magnum bolt face, without any modifications. If I were going to build a 338 Lapua It would be an improved version to take advantage of the fine cases and with the larger bolt face I would use the Weatherby mark 5 action that has a longer mag well and can use a standard 378 extractor. This would give the Lapua an advantage over the 338 RUM. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
