[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 181927, member: 4491"] i have an edge and love the round. but to rechamber a 338rum, i don't think the gains you will receive will be worth it. first off when you rechamber a barrel, you'll loose a bit of barrel length. most smith's, maybe not all, but most will chop off the barrel threads and on a Remington, that's around .900 in length. so now you're down to a 25" barrel.if you want to shoot the 300 gr bullets, a 30" barrel is much more advantageous. generally speaking the advantage an edge has over the rum is about 100fps "AT BEST". Shawn is working on a new chambering technique that is showing a lot of promise, that could be another option. maybe he'll jump in here, you have a gunsmith and "Shawn's cartridge" type of question, nobody better to answer your question than he.
