How much powder? What length cartridge?

Remington 700

Any examples? I am leaning toward the edge, but want to make sure the velocity difference is worth the extra work. Thanks

Thank you, that is exactly the type of information I am looking for.

Yeah, I have and it would seem to be a 250 gr round. The bigger 300 gr look like they will take up too much case capacity. The Lapua seems to fall in that category as well. Keep in mind that the information / opinions I have come up with are based on stuff I read, not first hand experience.

Wanting to build a 338 and have been going over as much information as my brain can handle, but it seems information is all over the place. Is there any information on the comparable speeds between these two? Using a 300 gr. SMK I have seen velocities in the Norma from 2650 to 2850. The Edge...

Hornady A-max? Any thoughts on CEB for hunting? Hadn't even looked at these , they advertise pretty impressive BCs

I am loading that exact set-up, same dies , same bullet, same cartridge. I am using the RCBS standard dies without problem. I don't know what is meant by " new " dies as mine are probably over 15 years old and seat the bullet by pushing on the ogive of the bullet. I've only been hand-loading for...

Will there be a caliber restriction or can I use a trebuchet? Will baiting be legal? Anything less and I am out.......I'll watch it on the " Outdoor Channel". With the problem we have concerning natural selection, why would anyone vote "no"?

I have an HS Precision that I have shot accurately for years. I put a new scope on it and a 20MOA rail. I went from a 40 to a 50 mm objective. This caused me to raise my scope, and then my cheek rest . The beartooth comb raising kit I used worked well when the scope was lower, but now I am...

In an earlier post I spoke about a 300 Ultra mag that I have that needs a new barrel. I like the idea of the 338 edge, so I did some research on it only to hit a snag. Every 338 edge shooter I read about is loading COAL from 3.85 to 4 inches. Their velocity with 300 grain bullets were around...

What bullet? Wind read with wind guage? How was shot placement vertically? My 7mm rem mag shooting a 168 gr berger vld ( high BC bullet ) in a 5 mph wind at 500 yards will push 7 inches. A 7 mph wind pushes 9 inches.

http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/review-berger-230-gr-target-terminal-performance-124351/ First post I found in my search. I've seen reviews worse than that on other sites, but I've seen the videos of elk at 900+ yards drop in their tracks as well. In my head, the jury is still out.

Yeah, I had thought about this, however, the 230 grain bullet is offered only in a Target or a Tactical bullet. I spoke with Berger concerning this and their response was " these are not to be used on game", no specifications on what size of game or distance just " game ". I tend not to argue...

I pretty sure I am sold on the idea. What bullet are you using? Any idea on barrel length for optimal speed? I looked up load data from Berger and they advertise a COAL of 3.6. The 338 RUM POV is appreciated , but as far as bullet depth in the case, there is only a .09" difference between...
