[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 137712, member: 4"] You can build an Edge by using a 338 RUM reamer and a 300 RUM headspace guage. .200 is way to much, use a guage. The taper is so close that the extra depth doesn't ammount to even .001", it is closer than most factory chambered 338 RUM's anyway. The only other way is of course to have a reamer built. Alot of smith's have a set for 300 and 338 RUM making this easy for them to do. There are no big tricks with the Edge only being picky and doing everything correctly. By the way the only reason I named it the Edge instead of a 338-300 was to avoid confusion about what could be chambered in the rifle, trying to fire a 338 RUM in a Edge chamber would be a really bad news.
