[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1520712, member: 8873"] Yeah it’s been around pretty much since the .300 RUM was released, the .338-300 Ultra Mag. Shawn Carlock of Defensive Edge (and this site) is the one who named it as we see it, he was a big front runner for it. He also puts his own special spin on it (and others) and calls it the “+P”. I had one for several years and have a buddy with one. Great long range chambering for the Remington 700 (and Savage, etc). When I had mine done I called it a poor man’s Lapua. The gunsmith doing my build would not open the 700’s bolt face to accommodate the .338 Lapua and recommended the Edge. Back then I could get once fired .300 RUM brass for $0.50 a pop. The company I got them from had barrels full, wish I’d have known what I know now and bought a barrel.:D I’m running a .338 RUM now, almost the same performance but can load as a repeater in the factory mag.
