[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 526193, member: 505"] The 338-300 RUM is called edge. It is the same performance as the 338 Lapua when loaded to safe pressures. The 338 Lapua is faster if you run hot loads in it because of the Lapua brass taking higher pressures. You are fine with your 300 RUM if it is accurate. If not you would be better with your action doing either the 338 RUM or 338 SIN. The 338-300 RUM is more trouble and more expensive than the over the counter 338 RUM and both give the same performance. The 338 SIN is maybe 75 fps slower but will fit and feed perfectly in your action with no mods since it is shorter. This allows heavy, long high bc bullets to be seated out to the lands and still feed and eject easily. To modify your action to handle the 338-300 RUM or Lapua it would make more sense to just get a custom when all costs are considered and functionability. When you go to a custom action then you want to consider a much bigger and better 338 since you are spending the money anyway. No need paying the money for a custom action, etc and being stuck with something 200-300 fps slower than another you could have had. [/QUOTE]
