[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 163833, member: 10"] Overbore, I have the Wyatts 3.910" center feed design in my 338 AX rifle. I had to set the chamber up with the leade angle coming right off the chamber with no throat of any kind to allow for the length of the 265 gr AT RBBT. Well, that is not true, my rounds are roughly 3.855" in length with the chamber this way. I could cut it with a 40 thou long throat and still fit but figured there would be no advantage really. In an 338 Edge, you will have issues because the case is measurably longer then the Lapua case. This is one reason I designed the 338 AX. More capacity, shorter case, able to seat bullets out of the case more then the Edge for even more case capacity advantage, but its not as easy to load for as the Edge because you do have to fireform brass which is not needed with the Edge.
