[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 577098, member: 12216"] I believe the edge is more like 300 RUM necked up to 338 (Could have the wrong parent cartridge there). Way above 30.06. You are talking something in the area of 90gr of powder behind an edge and shooting 250-300gr pills. Don't think you'll get it to run through the mag. At least not and have any powder space left. The savage just doesn't have the room. It'll be single shot most likely. You'll need a new mag box for sure (even if it was going to be a 300wm). Also you'll need a magnum bolt head. I'd plan on a muzzle brake as well. The expense of shooting the edge will be a fair bit above the 300wm. You might be better off getting an order in for a CBI from Jim at Northland Supply. You'll wait 8-12 weeks but it'll be worth it. I can't imagine what that edge barrel would weight. I think they only had them in 30". Got to be 8lbs+.
