[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1022464, member: 30671"] Dragman makes some good points. Feeding .338 RUM has had it'd difficulties. The "EDGE" has likely overtaken the RUM as the "standard", much like the .284 Winchester wildcats out number the parent cartridge. My partner has the "EDGE", I have the RUM. Side by side I don't see a big advantage. To qualify that, we don't try to keep a 300 grain bullet supersonic as long as possible. Our rifles are more standard weight hunting rifles. He's running 28" barrel, and I'm at 26". If we move to ELR the advantage goes to the "EDGE". This will catch some flack, but I don't like the idea of the Lapua in "standard" actions. At this point if I was to commit to an ELR rifle I'd get a custom action, big enough to run the larger capacity cases hard. The Lapua has earned it's place by performing in extreme environments all over the globe. It's not really all that much more expensive at the end of the day if it's what you want. [/QUOTE]
