[QUOTE="steelhead, post: 128589, member: 5773"] I'm very happy with my 338 Edge that Shawn built for me. It started out as a Remington 300WM Sendero. If you do a search for Devin's Edge, you will find pictures and more descriptions of the rifle Shawn put together for me. Needless to say it is very accurate, I've duplicated the .24 inch group that Shawn test fired with my rifle and I've gotten great accuracy out to 1400 yards. One of these day I hope to get around to shooting it out to a mile and beyond. Any way, with the nightforce optic, harris bi-pod, TIS sling and rear stock bag, my Edge weighs in under 15 lbs. I used it in a Long Range competition back in August and was able to tote it around just fine. Of course my Gunslinger pack helped out a lot in that regards also. But, I had to climb a 3 or 4 story tower with the rifle and shoot it both right and left handed. Needless to say, by the end of the day, I was still ready to shoot more. As for ballistics, they seem to be comperable. The nice thing about the 338 Edge is, that I can find components a lot easier than I can 338 Lapua. Several stores in town have 300 RUM brass. I haven't seen any 338 Lapua yet. I don't turn the neck at all. About all I do is size up the 300 brass to 338 and start loading. My dies are from Redding and are top notch. I didn't even sort the bullets like Shawn does and I was still able to get the .241 inch group at 100 yards. The nice thing about the Lapua is that it is a military cartrige and seems to be gaining in popularity here in the States. Either way you go, I don't see you being disappointed. Devin [/QUOTE]
