[QUOTE="jcoop, post: 776542, member: 13125"] Well, I had a edge and while I liked it I got tired of brass issues (short life compaired to the lapua) so I sold it and built a Lapua. Nosler brass was just ok but Lapua brass is much better in my openion. SAAMI specs are for COAL and do not really mean much as the case length on the Lapua is shorter and easyer to to load in a mag and retain case capasity at the same COAL as the rum-edge. If the action used is a purpose built action than the bolt thrust is not really an issue. If you re building on a remington then the RUM and Edge obviously get the nod. I prefer the lapua only because of brass and the abilty to improve the case and gain performance. Now with Shawns brass the edge has an even more valid argument. [/QUOTE]
