Re: New what caliber??
7mm STW has my vote.

So to me it would be a little more forgiving. As for still build the 7mm STW, I have to 8mm mag actions, so thats not tattaly out of the picture. |
You have to remember, with the Norma you are getting similar ballistics with 23.5 to 25 inch barrels that you need a 26 to 30 inch barrel with the Edge. That is the appealing part for me. Not to mention it fits in a normal long action.

Yes but can I use the same bolt face? I read the review on here but other than that can't find any more info on it?

No, you would have to open up the bolt face a little. Yours is a .532" and you would have to take it to a .585". With that said, we were discussing the possibilities of using the 375 Ruger as a parent case and necking it down to a 338 or 7mm. It would probably offer RUM like qualities.
