[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 959273, member: 33822"] 338 Edge is simply a 300 RUM necked up to 338. The 300 RUM case is a bit longer than the 3338, so you get a bit more case capacity out of the 338-300 RUM (338 Edge). Lots of options, no right answer. If you just want a go-to 338 hunting rifle without really wanting to shoot very long range, the 338 win mag (or 340 wby) is tough to beat. If you want to stretch out the range you'll want to jump up to the 338 RUM or Edge (or other big case) to be able to push the heavier bullets with enough fps. Base on my own preferences and how I hunt, I'm a fan of the standard 338 RUM. I don't need the little bit of extra fps you get out of the edge/lapua/etc. But lots of guys love the Edge for the extra fps. Just fun to have lots of options! Are you leaning towards a full custom build, or installing a new barrel on an action you already have? [/QUOTE]
