Next year I want to bump my game up to a .338 Lapula. The Rugers is certainly affordable, but can it contend? What are the pro and cons of Rugers .338? I have a Ruger 6.5 creedmoor and it performs great. Has any one owned the Ruger and loved it then shot somthing else and went this is way better then my ruger because? I just want to hear everyones thoughts.
 
300 PRC has equal, if not better ballistics with less recoil and the ammo is 1/2 the price. If you like your ruger I see no reason not to get another. Your already familiar with the platform and there's a wide array of aftermarket upgrades if accuracy isn't up to snuff. That said, unless you're shooting at 1500+ yards or hunting large game at long distances anything larger than your Creedmoor is kind of a waste.

I plan on shooting it from 1 mile to 1.5 miles.
 
Buy one and cut the barrel down to 10 inches and use black powder with 40 grn vmax. 22 sabots to mitigate recoil. I mean why not right?
