How much more barrel life, if any, would one get out of a 338 Edge or Lapua shooting a 300gr Berger, over a 300 RUM shooting a 215gr or 230gr Berger? I know shooting the lighter bullets at high speeds eats up the RUM faster. I'm just wondering how much more you would get out of the RUM with the heavier bullets. This would be for a hunting/target gun. I'm a little concerned about meat damage if I end up shooting something at a closer range with the bigger 338s but don't know if the 300 RUM is much better in that regard!
Also as far as the 338s go, Edge or Lapua? I know the Lapua has better, yet more expensive brass. Setting that aside which one would you go for?
