[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1464300, member: 8873"] If you are gonna leave the factory barrel (26” I believe) on it then I wouldn’t punch the chamber out to the Edge. I would definitely start with some good brass, ADG makes it. I would also run a good high BC bullet, you already have a good 1,000 yard capable rifle with the .300 so make the most of the .338 or you are doing yourself an injustice. My RUM with a 26” barrel would hang with my Edge and a 30”. Both would push a 300 grainer @ 2800 (+/-). The Edge I think had a somewhat slowish barrel and the newer powders (like RL-33 & 8133) gave the RUM that little extra push to even the playing field. Now theoretically the Edge with a longer barrel should out run the standard UltraMag. With most I believe it will as it has greater case capacity. With the shorter barrel I think you’d be waisting the potential of the Edge. If (or when) you rebarrel, I say go for it. [/QUOTE]
