[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 1805029, member: 103316"] Well you made my choice for you really easy ! You have a 300 Rum already take that brass and build the 338 Edge . If you were going fresh I would say build the 338 Rum . Brass is out there dies are way cheaper than the Edge . This info is coming from a guy that has 3 of each 338's . I built two carbon rifles in Remington actions . Both have 30 " barrels plus brake. 338 rum 300 berger , 91.5 gr. H-1000 = 2884 ft.per.sec. 338 Edge 300 bergers 92 gr.H-1000 @ 2884 ft.per.sec No difference. There's were put together to hunt with . And let me tell you they Work !! My Heavy 338 Edge has a Kreiger heavy Palma 30" fluted barrel plus brake. It loves the 300 berger Otm at 2849 ft.per.sec and has been sent out to 2053 yrds. With excellent results on steel . I'm looking at n570 and r33 for few more ft.per.sec possibly. Either way you look at this it is a win win they both perform so close it's crazy! I'm a Remington guy . The Papua might be great but I have no intention of heading that way ! Best of luck in your quest for the Won !! *** Please work your load up *** Rum Man [/QUOTE]
