[QUOTE="Broz, post: 667322, member: 7503"] Edge and LM are very close to the same in ballistics. Load them both to 2800 fps with a 300 g bullet and you will be seeing primer pockets loosen in 3 firings with the Rem brass. My 338 LM at this velocity with 300's after 14 firings the primer pockets are all still tight. So I feel this makes the LM brass less expensive in the long run. I have done some work with a 300 RUM and 210's. At 500 rounds the throat was moving forward at a very noticable rate. You can chase it for a couple hundred rounds then it is usually barrel time. This also mirrors what I have read from others with the 300 RUM. As for how much the 230 would help I can not say. But it surely would help some. Jeff [/QUOTE]
