Does anyone have load data for using .225gr Accubonds in their Edge? Or other lighter bullets? Thanks in advance. Herb

How accurately does it weigh? I understand it weighs + or - .1 of a grain as do electric scales. That means .2 gr spread. On a 100 gr load that wouldn't be much. What about loading Bullseye for a hand gun -would the spread matter there? Also,is that acceptable for target/accuracy loads? Just...

Very informative thread! Now I've got a real project adjusting all of my scopes. Thanks all.

dbhostler Your explanation makes sense as do your suggestions. Thanks. Actually the necks clean up with Hoppe's OK. crittergetter I'm envious as I don't have the time to work with my new 338-300 until after elk season. Herb

Having swithed from H870 to Retumbo in my 300 RUM Iam now seeing very black carboned necks on my cases -something I've never experienced in 40 years of reloading. What gives?

Wild Bill, Thanks for the response...been away for a few weeks. Herb

It's not working Len. Clearer directions needed???????????

Still looking for Edge loads. I'll be using 225 Nosler Partitions and Accubonds to start. Other bullet weights(except 300's) will be considered. So, you Edge shooters, what are you loading ? Am I correct in starting with max .338 RUM loads across the spectrum of powders and bullets and then work...

The book says SAAMI 3.600. I load mine at 3.630 and would go longer but don't want to shoot single shot.

I also like that barrel finish. The duece on the wall is nice too! Can that finish be applied while the barrel is in the actio n?

Interesting reading and, no, I haven't read about the RCBS dies. I was naive when I ordered my 338-300. I surely didn't want to get involved with donuts and neck turning. In my 40 some years of reloading I have never gotten to that point. I do recall getting donuts when forming 25-06 cases from...

FWIW, when I ordered mine from RCBS 3days ago they told me they had several sets on hand.

Sorry, my bad. Wrong thread.

FWIW, I ordered my dies from RCBS 3 days ago and they told me they had several in stock.

I wish I had seen this thread and maybe I would have changed my mind about the 338-300. Mine should be finished any day now and ordered the dies fromRCBS. I sure didn't think there'd be problems expanding the brass. I'll experiment with Rem. once fired brass and then switch to Federal if I...
