Why does that not suprise me ? Your sure to have a shooter if Carlock built it ! Go the EDGE !

DUH

 

[michael A.]

it seems to shoot good, havent really got a chance to shoot it much hoping to go out this weekend and try for some longer distence.

 

[michael A.]

ok went shooting again and not sure what to make of this
conditions where
500 yards
bipod front sand bag rear
5 mile cross wind
group is a little under 3.75 with the 2 at .625 and the bullseye shot was the second shot
what do you guys think ?

 

[tjonh2001]

i think that the 1st and 3rd shot were where the gun was hitting and you pulled the 2nd. i would have shot 2 more rounds to see where they were hitting. or maybe u dropped 1 and 3 eather way a guy should shoot 5 shots at thode ranges, if you cant see those groups through the scope.

Glad you like it.

 

[michael A.]

The edge is the same brass as the 300rum just necked up you can see the necked up one on the right of the rum

Thanks for the picture. I've been looking for a picture of the 338 Edge Improved and the 338 Lapua Improved.

The difference between the Edge and Edge AI are nominal, the only real advantage I have found is that brass life is better, I believe this to be on account of the 40 degree shoulder keeping brass growth to a minimum.
The difference between the improved AI Lapua and the standard case is substantial both in brass life but more importantly cartridge performance.
