[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1712860, member: 8873"] I had a single shot 30” barreled Edge and bought a 26” RUM (repeater) to get a more portable package with what I figured would be “like” performance. Turns out both ran 300 grain bullets 2800-2850, depending on the lot of H1000. Kept the RUM and sold the Edge, why have two rifles (one being 4 pounds heavier) with the same performance with only a few grains powder difference? The RUM is on its third barrel and it has averaged 2750-2800 fps. The Edge should get you a little more velocity on average. If I were to go with it again, I would go with a long fast twist barrel throated deep to take full advantage of whatever little “edge” it will give you. Anything with more horsepower (bigger) would mean a different action in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
