[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 137591, member: 4"] I was looking for several thing when I started on it, to sum it up, I wanted the most cartridge for the least amount of work. All other things being equil capacity is capacity. I wanted the most capacity in a standard magnum bolt face I could get without fire forming etc. In the 338 RUM if the powder was slow enough you could not even get close to enough in it and if you could it would preasure up before reaching capacity. In necking up the 300 RUM to 338 Edge RL25 would fill the case at top preasure and worked well in longer barrels. US 869 will give 80-100 fps over my favorite H1000 load, however there are more important things than max velocity. The thing I love about the 338 Edge besides tiny groups is tiny groups at long range in part due to the ability to get extremely small ES in velocity. Another thing that is better than more velocity is a load that shoots very well and doesn't change velocity with tempature. With those attributes it makes for a rifle that is not finicky and instills a great ammount of confidence by always doing what it is susposed to. [/QUOTE]
