[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 1545697, member: 58686"] Best I did pushing my 338 Edge with a 30 inch barrel was 3048 fps with Reloader 33..OAL at 3.924. with the 300 gr Berger's...Brass was done in 3 shots...was well over pressure and backed it down 2 full grains to 3008fps and could get 8 reloads before tossing the brass. My second edge shot this same load at 3012 fps..I was a little more brave shooting hot loads in my single shot as the action was stronger with out the mag cut outs or at least that is what I told myself... Guess the bolt lugs were the same.. This barrel was chambered with the same reamer Carlock used and sold (not the plus P) the Regular Edge... I suppose if a person added the Weatherby Style Freebore and a longer OAL to try and relieve some pressure you might of gained something...I am having my 3rd Edge built right now... Almost done. I went with the regular Edge even though my gunsmith has the improved version 35 degree shoulder reamer with the very similar to the plus P Throat. My goal is to have the rifle shoot the 300 gr at somewhere close to 3000fps.. Like the other 2 Edges I had would...Only in a repeater this time... This rifle has a 4.00 inch wyatts... . [/QUOTE]
