[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 250907, member: 4"] I agree with Kirby on the classes of 338's. For me it comes down to a choice of practicality. I see only 2 choices here the 338 Edge/Lapua class or the 338 AM class. The middle class requires more work for the most part than i am willing to give for the performance increase. If I am going to fireform, buy high dollar brass, expensive dies etc I am going to build a 338 AM and have the AA dragster version 338. If I want easy reloading, reasonable cost etc I would look to the Edge/Lapua class rounds. I have both and they both have there issues. Like Kirby sadi it depends on a handfull of answers to your questions to get you whatr you need. I believe you key issue is weight a 11-12 lb finished rifle rules out the 338 AM class rifles. Now the key question is, do I want to take on more work / expense for the velocity gain by going with a Lapua Imp, Kahn, or AE. When you answer that I beleive you will be looking at the best class for your needs. [/QUOTE]
