[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1019530, member: 85389"] Tom, For a hunting application we suggest you start at .015 off the lands then work back in .015 increments from there. Always use the LOWEST POWDER CHARGE LISTED FOR THE BULLET/POWDER/CARTRIDGE combination you are testing. Then work your load up in 1/2 grain increments until you get 2 grains below MAXIMUM then drop to 1/10th grain increments. All the while check for pressure signs and accuracy. You may not be able to get these rounds to cycle through your magazine however due to this bullets length. Even though it is a Hybrid and very tolerant of jump it is a long bullet. A longer aftermarket magazine box and bottom metal may help. We do have load data listed for the 338 Edge on our website under LOAD DATA. Hope this helps! If you need any more help please feel free to contact us at [EMAIL="TechSupport@bergerbullets.com"]TechSupport@bergerbullets.com[/EMAIL] or post again in this string. Take care, Phil Hoham Berger Bullets Tech [/QUOTE]
