338 Lapua vs. 338 Federal?

Which would you go with and why? Can you reform 308 for one of them? I would like to hear anyone's input. Thank you.
 
338 federal is the same case as 308 the 338 lapua is a very large case about the same capacity as the 300 rem ultra mag. I guess which one you choose depends on what you plan on doing with it.______ treeman

May I suggest the 338 RUM? Brass is 1/3 the cost.

300 gr Sierra MatchKings will be your new friends as well.
