[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 2567986, member: 73428"] The APA fat bastard has been the best in our testing - with sub-9-to-10-pound rifles shooting 300' grain bullets at peak velocity it'll be a handful to say the least. I will also say a well-designed stock really helps yield good results. Manners EH1 has worked well for us in this department. I cannot stress enough - It takes a lot of discipline and recoil management to shoot a sub 9-10 pound 338 effectively running 300's around 2900 FPS! You can pound rocks all day (which is great fun!!) However, when shooting paper with these lighter boomers it's amazing how quick a 338 will show you your shooting errors- it keeps ya honest :) You'll be within 25-75 FPS with all 3 (338 RUM, EDGE & Lapua) I would base my decision off attainable components and which action I was building off of (Edge really does well with a 4-inch box). In my own personal experiences, there isn't one out of those 3 that really stand out among the rest. [/QUOTE]
