[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1393702, member: 10755"] I have both a 338Edge and a 338-416 Rigby, with the Bertram brass, the 338-416 is faster than the Edge or Lapua with 300gr Bergers. The bertram brass is the same hull as made for the Lapua and Rigby, so each handle the same pressure levels. Norma brass has very thick walls in 416 Rigby, although the web thickness is thin and primer pockets open earlier, it still handles 3000fps with 300gr Bergers and is still serviceable after 5 loadings. I pondered building a 338 LapuaAI, but after sectioning different brands of brass, not all are built equal and that swayed my choice to the other 2. The Edge is what I would build today and be done with it. Very happy with it. Cheers. ;) [/QUOTE]
