Yes, i don`t understand remington`s thinking here. The .338 edge is made by necking up 300 rum brass and is a bit faster, so i don`t get the short case. It`s interesting also, the 338 rum is the ballistic twin to the .338 lapua. Had a .338 rum in the LSS, till a buddy talked me out of the barrel, so i found a new 7 rum take-off. The .338 shot good, but never got below 3/4 of an inch. His rifle was a .300 win mag, and it shot horrible from the start. Now with the barrels swapped out, both shoot half or better, go figure that one. RUMLUVER, have you tryed the 250 and 300 grain sierra matchkings yet? The 300`s are impressive, they go through half inch of mild steel at a 1000 yards, and do a fair job on groundhogs. I can`t figure out if the bullet expands and does the damage, or if it`s absobing all that energy that makes him go poof, lol.
