I'm in need of some help and input.
I'm looking for something to consistently launch a .338 300 grain SMK (or other high BC .338 pill like the LM-105) to roughly 2,950fps. I've been told that the 338 Lapua Mag can't get there (quickload confirms this result), and I've been given the impression in my reading on several forums that the 338 Edge will potentially get there but it is puching the pressure envelope and is likely to be over pressure doing so in Las Vegas during the summer months - so that is a no go since I live in sin city. I know the 338AM gets there and beyond. Is there something between the 338 Edge and the 338AM that I don't know about? I'm not looking to personally wildcat anything too exotic...
If the answer is "no" to the question, then I gues I'll be looking at the various .375 chamberings.
