[QUOTE="yellojeeper, post: 258709, member: 15328"] Hi Shawn, I have been reading about the 338 Edge and plan to build one for African plains game. (Safari is booked for July, 2010) The rifle will be built on a Montana PH action. [URL="http://www.montanarifleman.com/prohunter.htm"]Model 1999 Montana Professional Hunter Action[/URL] The barrel will be a 28" Krieger, probably #4 or #5 contour. [URL="http://www.kriegerbarrels.com/Contours-c1246-wp3382.htm"]Contours[/URL] It will be a classic styled African plains game/DG rifle, (3 leaf express sights, banded front sight, banded sling swivel, walnut stock). The action is a double square bridge, so weaver bases will be milled into the action, with a scope mounted on it. I hope to get the rifle Magna Ported, as to stay away from a big muzzle break, (for asthetic purposes). I suppose the rifle will weigh in at 10-12# and I want to know what to expect in terms of recoil. I would like to stay under 300 mag recoil (from a traditional sporting rifle). Is this even achievable? Additionally, the load data posted is with SMK's. Though fine bullets, I prefer a bonded bullet for Africa. I was wondering if you had some load data for Accubonds or similar bonded bullets? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
