[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 265074, member: 4809"] Regarding comment by jwp475: My apologies to you. I probably stated my position on accuracy incorrectly. I did not mean to imply that the 338 Edge as a cartridge is any more or less accurate than the 338 Lapua. However, I do believe that uniformity of brass contributes to accuracy in a rifle and that Lapua brass is simply more uniform than Remington, Winchester, or even Norma brass. Having said that, the brand of brass I use is not that critcal to me. I recognize that with all the technology, knowledge and quality materials available today, the weak link in my shooting system is me and not the brass. While I understand the theoretical arguments for better brass such as Lapua, my poor shooting abilities more than mask any improvement that Lapua brass brings to the table. I guess I am just trying to hang on to any advantage I can. Regarding comment by Dave: Good catch. My mistake once again. There are probably a few Allen Magums under .30 cal that are not based on the .338 Lapua case and the 270 Allen Magnum is one. It is in fact based on the 300 RUM as you indicated. The confusion centering around the 277 Allen Magnum probably comes from the fact that there are not many of them around. To my knowledge, Kirby has only made two of them. I own one and Richard of Wildcat Bullets owns the other. The 277 Allen Magnum is based on the .338 Lapua case. Kirby...see what you have started???? [/QUOTE]
