How many hundred RUM brass have you had to replace??

None yet, but what I have come across is the rum brass is a lot cheaper to buy.

Correct... But you can turn that around and say the edge is a wildcat and you have to buy barrel etc where you can buy a LM off the shelf.
So over the lifetime of the gun/barrel it's same same really

I would rather have an Edge over a Lapua any day.

You can build an Edge for the same price as a decent Lapua & it will be lighter, cheaper & faster

Build me a Edge wrapped in HS precision for $2k or under and I'll agree

I've got a foot 1/2 in both camps... And am happy with them both... Ford vs Holden, but end of the day, I'll take 100 Lapua brass over 100 Rem given the choice

If it was all about the biggest baddest fastest, we'd all have 10lb 375 DCMs .........soon........

Retail on the Savage 110FCP HS 338 is $2400 isn't it? Not too far above 2k and by most accounts they shoot as well as any.

Iwill put up with my stinky old trg 42 thanks all the same KG!
When my shooting skills surpass the ability of the calibre and rifle then i might look at something bigger faster better but at the moment 2500yds is still 5 times further than i can hit things!
