[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1991315, member: 2736"] The fact that you don't want to improve anything removes some cartridges, and without modifying the bolt or going to a different action rules out the lapua and norma. So you are down to two choices, the 338 RUM and the 338 Edge, The 338 RUM is a factory cartridge and ammo can be bought for it. The edge is simply a 300 rum necked up to 338 if you reload, this is an easy load to make. The difference in velocity of all 4 is very little, (The edge has a 100 ft/sec average increase/advantage on the other 3. that extra 100 ft/sec only comes into play at extreme distance. Any of these cartridges are good, but they come with different advantages and disadvantages. With the most advantages going to the 338 RUM In my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
