[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 438080, member: 7999"] The 995 is a great platform to build on. My 1st long range rifle was a 995 in 30-378 Weatherby that I re-barreled in 30-338 Lap imp. I do not know how long the magazine for your rifle is to accommodate the 338 ultra case. I thing you would be ok, but I would check before you move forward. You can always run it as a single shot, which is no big deal for long range hunting. Unless you are a real tinkerer, I would say that the 338 rum would be the way to go. Having to fire form cases is not the greatest thing in the world. I deal with several improved cases and have come to the conclusion that unless there is a significant improvement it is not worth the time. The 338 rum and the 338 edge fall into the category of not enough increase for the time spent. The edge is very popular and I am sure that there will be a different opinion right after me. But the 338 rum is an inherently accurate cartridge and is only about 100fps slower that the edge. It is also a little shorter that the edge which may help with the magazine. Any way, if you are so inclined go for it. Steve [/QUOTE]
