[QUOTE="durak, post: 643692, member: 34244"] Thanks - I have a friend that wants a 338/300RUM (I DO NOT call it an "edge" as I have had several rifles chambered in 338/300 RUM before it was called that). I suggested the standard 338 RUM. My thinking is in a 28" tube the 338/300 RUM would just waste powder and would need more barrel to take advantage of the extra powder capacity. I'm sure one could mitigate this by running a faster powder but to what end. Am I off on my thinking? Is there any advantage? [/QUOTE]
