[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 752114, member: 20646"] I choose the 338 Edge: 1) because it has a (albeit just slightly....) higher case capacity than a 338 RUM 2) because it *does not* require a larger bolt-face - ala 338 Lapua - so action choices are greater (unless going the custom action route) 3) because as of just recently, high-quality brass can be obtained for it (from the vendor in Austrailia and purchased through Shawn Carlock) 4) because the user base/info base is continually growing which helps with load development/performance questions With an open-ended question of which .338, of any, to choose i would possibly go with the 338 Edge +P to gain some extra case capacity w/o going to a larger bolt face. I suspect this would require a custom action to gain a longer/larger tenon. I'm not a 'smith nor well-enough educated/experienced to speak authoritatively on the matter, but that would be my choice.... [/QUOTE]
