[QUOTE="liltank, post: 441575, member: 13275"] The RUM and Edge are going to be practically ballistic twins. The Edge will edge out the RUM by about 15 to 20 fps and again the Lapua will be the best performer due to the better casing. It will only gain you maybe another 15 to 30 fps over the first two, but that has many variables. If I were to build a big bore, I would go with the RUM due to costs. It will be cheaper to get started with the RUM and shoot practically the same as the other two. The Edge is still considered a wildcat due to no one making factory ammo for it. Both the RUM and Lapua you can find in a store. Dies will be readily available for both the RUM and Lapua. So with that said, if you want a big performer, then step it up to the 338LM AI. Then you will be pushing the 300SMK or Berger north of 2950fps. Also the 338-378 Weatherby will romp on a 300SMK or Berger pretty good too. You can use factory ammo in a pinch, and load the AI version at your leisure. Tank [/QUOTE]
