[QUOTE="436, post: 428667, member: 16609"] I'm not taking anyone side on this interesting discussion, but..... The first sentence say's; [B]"I developed and named the 338 Edge in 2001"[/B] which is referring to the cartridge being discussed, not some other wildcat in .338 caliber. The second sentence say's: [B]“Now I am sure I was not the first person to neck up the 300 Ultra (RUM) case to .338”. [/B]Which is referring to 338/300 RUM…. and from what I understand the; .338 Edge and the .338/300 RUM are not the same, very close but not the same’…, true or not? So is this a play on words? Or is the .338 Edge really just a necked up .338/300 RUM wildcats and/or the Remington cartridge .338 RUM....? Which was tried, I’m sure by many others the day the brass was available, when Remington put it into their stable. Fact is; I have a good Canadian friend, that designed and brought out the .300 Imperial Magnum, which I’m sure later became Remington’s .300 RUM…. the .300 Imperial Magnum started life many, many years ago {as I remember} as the .311 Canadian {Imperial} Magnum’…, {not to be confused with the .300 Mashburn [U]Imperial Canadian[/U] based on the .300 H&H case} and then .300 Imperial Magnum {which is pretty close, near identical to the RUM} was also wildcatted into a .338 Imperial Magnum….. The gentleman and friend was Ret RCMP Officer Aubrey White of Osoyoos Canada, one of the great cartridge design guy’s’…, who was way ahead of his time; in reference to long range hunting and sniper cartridges. Just trying to get the facts in line. 436 [/QUOTE]
