[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 206951, member: 4191"] I think 4.15" OAL will require single shot loading in most actions being used for the 338 Edge. Which isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion. I live and hunt in Alaska and there's a need to have the magazine full of ammo in case of close range encounters with bear with an attitude. I load Nosler Accubonds or Barnes TSXs in the magazine while packing and walking around. I switch out to Berger VLDs or other long range bullets of choice when setting up for the long range shot, and I load those rounds single shot style. If the animal is 600 plus yards away, loading cartridges singly isn't generally going to pose a problem, and it keeps the bullet tips from being damaged or the bullets from being set back in the case under recoil in the magazine.
