[QUOTE="sam4485, post: 1246882, member: 96675"] Hired Gun I didn't have a specific interest in a pre-fit barrel. It was suggested by another post and I found it interesting. After being educated by a lot of really interesting responses I have decided against the 338 Lapua. There are other chambering that will have similar ballistics without the need for the 416 Rigby size action. I have an interest in the new 33 Nosler but the brass load history are a concern. I think that the 338 Edge (338/300UM) seems to be the best bang for the buck. Brass is easy to obtain at a reasonable price and it will fit a 375 H&H size action plus I can use the VG action that I already have without any major modifications. Your comments on the 300 grain projectile versus a 250 grain are both interesting and accurate. I still want to go with a polygonal (rifling) barrel. I think a 30" barrel (if Pac-Nor makes a 30" polygonal) would be a good length with the 108 grain cartridge powder capacity. Anyone have a thought or comment? I really appreciate all the great information from everyone. I have been away from active shooting since the early 90s and loads, powders and chambering choices has changed a great deal in that time. Now I have to research available stocks and muzzle brakes. [/QUOTE]
