[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 395039, member: 505"] Chas1, It may be, I am not on other forums so I wouldn't know. But in all my travels all over nobody has a clue what an edge is but the 338-300 ultramag has been quite popular since the 300 came out. I know during the 1999 Colorado elk season about 50 I had done were hunting elk there. I was in contact with several guys around the country doing it also. Most were stamped 338-300 but some shops called it by various names. When the 338 RUM was introduced most names went away because you could buy it over the counter taking away the mystique of having one so most guys quit doing it. Still a great chambering but it will not do anything the 338RUM won't do. They just fill the same niche. If a guy wants smaller he goes with the 338 winny and if he wants bigger then one of the big boys off the chey-tac, rigby, 378 or imp lapua case. The 338 RUM and 338-300 just fill the same gap so most quit doing the 338-300 that I was in contact with back then. The last one I did was 2001 when the 338 RUM came out.. [/QUOTE]
