[QUOTE="Dean2506, post: 841918, member: 31181"] Just thought I would put this out there for other people building or shooting the 338 edge. I helped a buddy put his together and now am helping him work up loads and get zeroed in. We used the standard load with h1000 and also I wanted to try RL 33. I am so far very impressed with the 33. I will not list loads used but we are averaging 2960 with 300 gr smk and a spread of 26 so not bad. we were able to shoot only 100 yds today but all groups were one ragged hole. I will say I used alliant 338 lapua max load as a start and work up until I saw pressure and then backed off. I also put 3 rounds on ice for 10 minutes just to see what would happen and actually got a few fps more velocity with a lower es. I know this is all in the early stages but i just thought I would share since I was unable to find any data for rl33 and edge on the net. Rem 700 action blueprinted Broughton 5c bbl 9.3 twist 30 in finish fat bastard break p.s. Recoil about like 3006 with 150 gr pill [/QUOTE]
