[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 466066, member: 24624"] Wth the main difference between 338LM vs 338Edge being the boltface in terms of not having to machine anything... Here's what I think needs to be done... start with a Savage 12 F-Class Rifle purchase barrel wrench and barrel vise (possibly wood blocks) Do I need a special wrench to hold the reciever to avoid twisting it? Shilen 30", 1:10 twist, throat +.050, stainless heavy barrel, threadded for a brake (Shilen - because they are just down the road a piece.) Savage standard magnum replacement bolt head Remington 300 RUM brass CCI 250 primers H1000 powder Berger 300gr Hybrid Bullets or Sierra 300gr SMK What do I use for go/no-go guages? Can these be ordered for 338 Edge? What do I use for dies? Can these be ordered for 338 Edge? I still want to do some verification to be sure this is safe. But, it sure sounds doable. So after a 500+ rounds, will I be able to revert back to 6mm BR and still shoot accurately? Or, is it going to hammer the reciever lug abutments? Thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
