it does take an awful lot of powder. We hope to get to the range and do some 300 and 600 and maybe 900 yd groups with the two best loads in order to see if the RL 33 and the extra velocity is worth it.
Just thought I would put this out there for other people building or shooting the 338 edge. I helped a buddy put his together and now am helping him work up loads and get zeroed in. We used the standard load with h1000 and also I wanted to try RL 33. I am so far very impressed with the 33. I...

Just one more idea. I was helping my gunsmith one day when a guy brought in a .257 wby that was showing very high pressure signs with factory ammo. We put a bore scope down the tube and it was completely covered with copper. After a very thorough cleaning we fired the rifle and the pressure...
