Caribu8.58 Titan (0338) Lazzeroni
Please I want to know what case is the mother of the Lazzeroni's long magnum cartriges. Are the 404 Jeffery ? Please I will apreciatte very much if any shooter send me dimentions cartriges of the Lazzeroni long magnum series. Thank to all.

Lazzeroni cases are made from scratch and are not based on any other case. In 338, I suggest you compare this round to the handloading data available for the 338 RUM before deciding to buy or build a Lazzeroni. The 338 RUM loves R25, and I have easily and safely duplicated Nosler's loads for 225 and 250 gr Partitions:
R25 98.0 grs 225 Par: 3227 fps
R25 91.0 grs 250 Par: 2990 fps
It's the age old question of how much the extra 100 to 150 fps is worth to you in going to the Lazzeroni.

I was under the impression that the Lazzeroni cases were based on the 416 Rigby case. I believe they have the same specs.

DB BillNot quite the case although they do use the same size shell-holder. John Lazzeroni has always said he designed his cases from scratch.....a one time he had 3 different headsizes.
