[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2940574, member: 109070"] Currently running a 262 grain copper bullet, it a prototype that we developed, just making sure everything performs as expected on animals. Obviously it does, but we believe it is better to test, and retest before making claims on performance. So far it hasn’t needed any tweaking. So my load is actually very mild out of the edge, I built the rifle 2 years ago and we developed the 338 bullet around a 338 RUM, Lapua, and the Edge. I started initial load development at 92 grains of H1000. I stoped with 92.5 gr of H1000 due to it producing a literal 1 hole 3 shot group. I have been meaning to load up with it but due to load development with other rifles it sat on the back burner. Muzzle velocity is running 2992 with an SD of 8. This is a standard throated Edge, not plus P. In a separate Edge I have run the same bullet over 3056 without pressure running Retumbo out of a 28 in proof 1-9.3. Rifle was a bit finicky with H1000, but absolutely hammers with Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
