[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 126330, member: 4"] You are barking up the right tree for components. About the RUM vs EDGE. The Edge will go max preasure with H1000 at 94.0 grains with the 300 SMK in my rifle. Now even though the RUM case will hold that amount it will be way over preasure due to less case volume. All in all the Edge is good for 150 fps or a little more with heavy bullets like the 250-300 class SMK's. I am not the type to do things the hard way for no reason. The 338 Edge loading process involves the same # of steps as the RUM it is dirt simple and the additional velocity etc is well worth getting a different set of dies to me. You can get a RUM built and it will be a great rifle but the only difference cost wise between it and an Edge is the additional 65.00 for dies. I would spend 65.00 on every gun I own if I could get an additional 150 fps out of it. [/QUOTE]
