    338 Lapua ???

    another source that has the 338 edge head stamp is Bertram brass.You can also get 300 ultra mag brass from Norma and Nosler, they won’t have the Edge headstand though, also you’ll have to Open up the neck to except a 338 bullet. Tom

    338 Lapua ???

    Yes sir, I realize how unusual this is. I’ve discussed this with a few of the authorities out there and all have said that I have something special going on here. I believe that 2900 to 2950 wouldn’t be too far out of the norm. I understand that bartlien barrel’s are considered to be one of the...

    338 Lapua ???

    I do understand that this is fast for the standard edge! I Live in Alaska and I shoot paper at around 500 feet and when I hunt I usually go up around 3000 to 4000 feet. Tom

    338 Lapua ???

    Sincerely, 108 is the max for this particular case using Remington brass, I’ve put 109 and saw no difference in FPS, also noticed that it was moving the bullet forward, would not seat as well. Tom

    338 Lapua ???

    You can’t get any more powder into the case, I’m crunching it pretty good. Wether you think it’s enough or not the gun is producing 3010 FPS! As for the chronograph-FPS I’ve done the testing, shooting at targets 100yrd 200.. etc out to 1300. Tom

    338 Lapua ???

    The case would not accept any more powder, I’m crunching 108grns. Also it is my impression that seating the Bullet deeper creates more pressure in the case. Tom

    338 Lapua ???

    I have a Stiller predator so it is a repeater however I only put one in at a time, I don’t want the bullets moving deeper into the case every time I shoot The gun. The reason for using the 338 edge is to have a lot of whop at a long distance and accuracy is king. The chamber was cut with almost...

    338 Lapua ???

    Have you considered the 338 Edge.. the receiver isn’t as bulky and a bit lighter. I’m getting 3010 FPS out of a standard edge, 28” bartline 1-10 twist using 300 grn otm’s, 108 grn’s of Rl 33 low es’s & sd’s. I’m guessing you could get even more speed with the improved. Tom

    Reloading 45-70

    With 405 grn cast performance bullets, I’m getting 2090 ft./s out of a 22” barrel using 50 1/2 grns of H-4198, That should do the trick if you’re trying to break big bones and knock down big stuff! Tom

    Grizzly bear defense

    Your bears in Wyoming and Montana are no more confrontational then the Bears here in Alaska! It may seem that way to you and possibly others, because, we have so much coastline and the Bears that are usually seen on TV and in most photographs are the big fat brownies that are well fed. The...

    Grizzly bear defense

    Some bears have responded like spray is hot sauce, as for me, I’d rather be around to fight another day. I posted earlier and I’m thinking that some people here do not understand. If ursus terribles is coming for you, you’d best put him down quickly. A 22 will kill a bear, what is needed in an...
