[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 519102, member: 4191"] If you shoot very much, the barrel life of a 338 Edge or RUM will be significantly greater than a 300 RUM driving 240gr bullets. Reduced barrel life is the [I]primary[/I] reason I wouldn't favor that 300 RUM / 240 gr bullet combo over the 338 calibers. I suppose if you Melonite treated the bore, the 300 RUM barrel life could be extended. I think the Melonite treatment cost about $60 for a barrel. But it's not a coating process that's been in common use over a long period of time yet - at least in the bores of rifle barrels - based on my understanding. [/QUOTE]
