I too am kind of new to long range shooting as most think of it beyond 600 yards. I have a Browning A bolt in 338 Win Mag that is/has been my hunting rifle for over twenty years. I have taken several deer over 500 yards with it and am very comfortable shooting it. My hunting partner had a 338 Edge built for him last year. Now I have the bug and am in the process of having a 338 Edge built for me. Beginning stages of having one built I should say. I have ordered a Curtis Custom Helix action that should arrive at the gunsmiths in a few weeks. I ordered a 30" Benchmark 1:9.4 Barrel that will be a few months out before it is shipped to the gunsmith. I am scope shopping now, currently I have it down to a Nightforce NXS (I have a Nightforce SHV on my hunting rifle) or a Leupold VX 6HD. I will have this all put on a Pendleton "tactical" stock with the adjustable length of pull and adjustable comb(Cheek piece).
Now my question, for those of you that are purchasing 338 Edge brass what brand do you recommend Bertram and Atlas are the only two that I have seen on the web. I want to purchase some brass, dies, and powder and have some ammo loaded up and ready to go once the gunsmith in Pendleton finishes building my rifle. Nothing I hate worse than having a new toy and not being able to play with it.
Thank you,
Jim Bradbury
