[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 2567122, member: 103316"] Well I guess I can give you my two cents on the 338 Edge !! Here we go . I have had 11 338's to date and just picked up #12 !! If your starting fresh i would jump on the 338 Rum . Cheaper dies , brass is all over the place . I proved a point with two identical 338 builds . Both with Remington actions , 30" carbon barrels Same triggers different stocks that's it . They ended up as so : ☆ 338 Rum ,300 gr Elite hunters, h-1000 @ 2883 ft.per.sec ☆ 338 Edge , 300 gr bergers Elite hunters , h-1000 @ 2884 ft.per.sec The Elk I took at 1244 yards seemed to hate the 300 gr bergers from the Edge ! At the time of these two builds I only had H-1000 to try out . The word is Rl-33 would give me more ft.per.sec but havent tryed it yet . I got some great advice from Shawn one early Sunday morning on a Heavy 338 Edge I put together. He helped me get three shots in the same hole at 100 yards and a 3 shot 26 3/4" group at 3027 yards! My personal best to date! To say I have some time behind a 338 is a Understatement! I had a goal of 2 miles after my Heart Surgery...I'm satisfied with 1.72 miles for now ! Ha ha next try watch out 2 mile ! The +p you talk about will cost you around $200.00 and it will get you more velocity for sure . I will try it I'm sure . Just been to busy with life lately. Ps . I have a 4" box set up ready to be installed in one of them ...just spent so much time getting my loads just right I didnt feel the need for the extra rounds in the box ! I have one ready to drop in close to me ..just in case ! I guess I should of asked if this is a hunter rifle or a ELR set up ! If I remember correctly this one is set up for about 4000 yards ! +or - a few yards ! If I can help in anyway give me a Shout !. Rum Man [/QUOTE]
