[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1449495, member: 11132"] I was going to say the 338 norma imp is my choice but I was not sure of the rugers dimensions. Shorter oal but if you chose to do it with a 35 degree improved shohlder has the same capacity as the rum i.e. 110 gr h20 IIRC. Super acxuracy and very effeicent. Has good barrel life. You have lapua brass now and could even form it from lapua mag if needed. Load up with h1000 for cooler flame temps or rl33 for max vel with the heavies. What I like is you get good vel effeicny from the shorter barrels. The 338nm IMO is made for 24-28" barrels. I am building one for a 24" barrel for a hunter. Good brake and recoil is tamed even in a lightish setup. 24" CF manners elite just vets me all kinds of excited. If that did not work if it cleans up the wsm would be a good choice with plenty of coal room if you could fit a nosler. [/QUOTE]
