[QUOTE="gphil, post: 751442, member: 38858"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I don’t post a lot so I’m not sure if everyone can view the poll but I looked at the poll and I see that 13/17 people voted 338 laupa and 2 people for 338 EDGE, and 2 338 RUM. I find this interesting why is this? Considering there so close in performance? Is this just due to case life?
