The bolt face is the same but the actions are 2 different lengths.

The 338 Rum is shorter then the 338 Lapua. Remington is coming out with a 338 Lapua but it is on a modified and beefed up 700 action.

Most 338 Lapua's are built on Sako actions which are longer and can handle the pressure.

I had the opportunity to develop a load for a friend of mine.  It was a 338 Lapua with a 700 action.  Best part I got the gun for a month to do load development.  Man, that thing would shoot but only useful on a bench because the thing weighed about 25 pounds.
