[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 345106, member: 2736"] Tank . I think the Edge was developed before the 338 RUM was brought out by Remington and proved its worth as a 338. Remington came out with the 338 RUM because of all the demands for a 338 and later even came out with the 338 Lapua for the same reason. As to the 338 Edge; It has slightly more powder capacity that allows the use of slower powder with "BIG" bullets if used in an extended mag. If you place a 338 RUM in a extended mag you can seat the bullet longer and gain almost the same powder capacity. The Lapua has slightly less powder capacity but can be loaded harder because of the fine brass and still hold up. The only down side to the Edge would be the slight neck thinning if the 300 RUM brass is used but the 375 RUM is the same dimension and if necked down the necks are thicker. Also the Edge is a wildcat and factory ammo cannot be bought. All of the big 338s can be very accurate and I see no advantage in one over the other under equal conditions ,Just ones preference. This is my take on it and I hope it helped. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
