[QUOTE="B23, post: 424416, member: 13222"] I'm not sure if you are talking to me or not but I'll gladly defend my opinion if you like. I don't think anyone has to necessarily have your level of expertise or first be authorized in order to offer up an opinion. If we did, well this would be a pretty quiet place. :) My opinion was based on research compiled when I was, at one time, looking into having a 338 Edge built and that research showed me that there was "some" gain in fps to the 338 Edge over the 338RUM. And again, for me, since I was going to be reloading anyway and the factory ammo thing meant nothing to me and I don't see how reloading for a 338 Edge would be any different than reloading for a RUM, why not take advantage of the added case capacity of the 338 Edge. Even if it is ever so slight because again, based on the research I put together on a more probable than not basis the 338 Edge has some FPS advantage. I guess the same could be said about the "how many fps do you gain or lose per inch of barrel length." You hear all kinds of different #'s getting tossed around but how many people have actually taken the time to start with a long barrel, chrono a given number of rounds, cut an inch off the end, recrown, and repeat the process over and over and over. This is just my best guess but I'm going to guess not that many. But everyone has an opinion on how many fps you gain or lose per inch of barrel length and generally speaking there all relatively close in numbers yet they have never done the field work themselves. Does that mean that only those who have done this process are entitled to an opinion??? [/QUOTE]
