[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 116170, member: 4785"] Hi the 338 Edge is made by necking up a 300RUM to 338 with no other changes as the best of my knowlidge si it does not require fire forming any diferently than any other new case. If i was you i would look at these calibres in this order. 1. 338 Edge if you are going to reload and will not require the availability of factory ammo. 2. 338 RUM if you have to be able to use factory ammo 3. 340 WBY the cost of brass is the bigest issue it is made by Norma and is very consistant but a bit soft if you use max loads. All of the above i do think you should hand load for anyway to get the best performance with you could not rely on going to a gunshop in the middle of no where and find a 338RUM or 340WBY there as they are not realy popular most places and only large shops would likely have a variety in stock. Also with the Edge youi can back the pressure doen a bit and still pass the velocity of the other two. If it is a custom barreled firle go this option. Now if you are looking to build a rifle i would look at buying a Sendaro II in any form of Ultra Mag send it to Shawn and have him true up the action fit a larger recoil lugg, muzzle break and barrel then sell the take out barrel. Also have him adjust the trigger and you could get an adjustable cheek piece and you would have an awsome rifle. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
