[QUOTE="KH_Outdoors, post: 3083203, member: 123559"] No problem! To answer your question specifically, "What does it offer over the RUM?" [B]Less muzzle blast & recoil for the simplest explanation! [/B] No doubt the RUM, RUM Imp, Edge, etc... all push bullets faster, yes 100%. They hold 10-20 gr more powder depending. Building the fastest or biggest was not the goal. The goal being to have a mid sized 338 cartridge, in a packable handy configuration, to push modest weight bullets, at reasonable speeds . "For me", something with 80-85 gr powder case capacity is "just right", not too much, not too little. The rifles intended use is for hard use in Alaska on big things. Emphasis on being handy inside 0-300 yards, yet still capable out to 500-600+ if needed. I'll likely end up with a RUM at some point too, but it will be a different configuration for sure! [/QUOTE]
