[QUOTE="splattermatic, post: 129008, member: 6781"] my gunsmith buddy is talking to me about the 2 338 rums he built for himself and a 338 lazz titan.. he's using 225 gr barnes tsx's and out of a douglas 26" barrel. he's getting @3200 fps, with 95 gr's of rldr 25. the other 338 rum is a 30" lilja, and same load is getting @3340, for a @160 fps gain, so the 338 rum likes a long barrel. now on the other hand 105 grains of rldr 25 in the titan with the same 225 grain barnes tsx is giving him 3406. he has the reamer and dies already for the titan, and is wondering what the advantage the edge has over the titan ?? first off i told him, price of brass, dies are more expensive for the 338/300 rum over the lazz. so what are you able to get for velocity and accuracy with a 225 out of the edge over a titan ?? he's making me second guess my decision to go with the edge ?? keep me on track guys.... why would i go with the edge over the titan ? the titan is bigger, has more case capicity, hence able to run bullets faster, non belted casing, headspaced on the shoulder instead of the belt. good brass, and his ability to do this easily because of experience... plus cost to me 0.00 !!! other than components...... what should i do and why ??
