[QUOTE="new shooter, post: 126278, member: 5792"] great story Shawn! I love reading about your 338 edge. I have been reading on the edge for over a year now. I have a question to ask; actually several. first your 338 edge has more powder capabilities than the 338 rum; my question is then why go with the 338 edge when all your loads for the 300 smk bullet is around 92 or 93 gains of H1000 (that is your accuracy load) why not just use the 338 rum with one of your custom barrels, since it seems to me the 90-92 gains you always use would go fine in the rum? or am i wrong? if so why have special dies made for the 338 edge, when i could buy 338 dies for the rum over the shelf? I plan on having a gun built in either the 338 rum or the 338 edge. but if the accuracy loads are the same in the 300 grain why go special dies. this is my first post. everything i read tells me you and kirby are first class gunsmiths. I am going to have my first ever gun built, and it will probably be the only one(wife says:shocked)so i want it to be a tack driver and i need all the info i can get before i make my final decision. next question-you talked about the eberlestrok back pack. which one do you reccomend to pack my rifle and gear?
