[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 180650, member: 4"] The Edge with a 30" tube you can just get 2900 fps but the powder you have to use is temp sensitive and the ES was to big, but it will do 2900 fps with standard pressure if numbers is all your worried about. The powder I use as most know is H1000 and it settles in right at 2800-2830 fps in most 30" barreled rifles. I'd gladly give up 75-100 fps for the excellent consistancy. I have developed and am applying for a patent on a chambering technique / design that makes reaching 2900-2950 with the Edge and good stable powders a normal occurance within standard pressure . Stay tuned on that one! As far ad the 338 RUM vs. EDGE debate I will say that the Edge is an advantage worth doing with the 300 gr bullet in any length barrel and an advantage with lighter bullets in the 30" tube. If you were going to build one with a 26" tube and shoot 225 NAB's there is not enough advantage in the Edge, you might as well chamber in the RUM. [/QUOTE]
