Well, this is getting to be even more interesting! I've been watching the whole LRKM/338 +P set-up for a while now. Especially because I'm thinking that my traditional 338 Edge is fast approaching a time for a new barrel. And I've been really interested in getting a 338 Suppressor, as I...

If the first bidder doesn't want it, I'll take it.

Wow!! Nice shooting Shawn and nice rifle! When the time comes, can my 338 Edge be fitted with a new 338 Edge +P barrel? Or am I going to need a new action/set-up? Devin

Sorry for the late response. I've been working with these bullets since my last post and finally have some "long" range results. Since my last post I played around with different charge weights and seating depths and have come to the conclusion that even though I don't get my best accuracy...

Highridge, Thanks. Have you noticed any temperature sensitivity issues with RL25? In the past I have seen this with this powder, however, I know that Alliant changed some of the formulas to their various powders, like RL15, to be less temperature sensitive, so this may have happened with...

RM, Thanks, I'll give that a try. I guess the reason I want more velocity is to get to a mile better. We have 1 mile shoots at our club, and while I've done well with the Sierra, I was hoping that this Berger bullet would work out a bit better for me. Hunting with this load.........I'd...

Well, I was finally able to get out and test some new loads. (work has been extremely busy). Anyway, I think that I've found that my rifle likes the Berger bullets against the lands as can be seen in the photos below. I loaded these rounds with 90gr of H1000 with the bullet touching the lands...

Well, I managed to find some of these bullets and got out on my lunch hour to test them out. I worked off of Shawn's data, figuring that what he came up with would be relatively close to what would work good in my rifle. (since he built my rifle, it seemed like a logical move). The rifle...

Found it, thanks! I'll give that load a try. It's basically the same load I use with the SMK's. When are you going to be back in the shop? I tried to call the other day.

Shawn, Can you share your load data with me? I'd like to try these in the Edge you built me. Thanks, Devin

I've been using one for a few months now. I like it a lot better than the non-hi-speed Nightforces that I have. I will probably send my other scopes in for an upgrade to the hi-speed.

kfrye, I weigh every powder charge for consistent velocity, ES, etc. I haven't gotten to the point where I weigh every bullet, every case, and do all the stuff benchrest guys do. I just haven't seen a need to do it for the kind of shooting I do. If I don't hit what I'm aiming at, its my...
