[QUOTE="darrindlh, post: 483759, member: 17383"] The reason that I am going with edge is because my action is not strong enough for the 338 lapua round. I agree both have the same case capacity however case capacity is not the reason that I should use a standard mag action for a lapua. The 338 lapua is a larger more bolt thrust. "The large boltface combined with the high maximum pressure makes that the .338 Lapua Magnum should only be chambered in rifles that are capable of handling such large and fierce cartridges and thus high [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/wiki/Bolt_thrust"][COLOR=#0645ad]bolt thrust[/COLOR][/URL] safely. Chambering such powerful super magnum cartridges in rifles intended for normal magnum rifle cartridges and using high pressure loads can cause serious or fatal injury to the shooter and bystanders." This was taken from the devolpment and history of the 338 lapua magnum. This is why I am building a 338 edge. It does not require a larger bolt face. Darrin [/QUOTE]
