[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 3003093, member: 118512"] I know this thread is a year and half old but thought I’d publish my results with some pictures of a 338 Edge rifle I just had built. It’s got a MOA Rifles McMillan Hunter style stock, a Defiance Deviant Hunter “Rum” action that was adjusted to fit 4” long ammunition, a 26” Bartlein 3B barrel, 3-port unknown munitions muzzle brake, a CFE-9 magazine box, and Nightforce NX-8 FFP MOAR reticle scope. My current first day load development yielding 3,030 FPS with Berger 250 Elite Hunters and just under 1/3 MOA groups all the way out to 725 yards. Only around 30 shots down the barrel so far; will be interesting to see if the accuracy holds up when the barrel speeds up about 40-50 fps. My load consist of Berger 250 EH’s with 94.0 grains of IMR-7828ssc and cartridge overall length of 3.970”. Posting pics of my black and red 300 yard target where the 3-shot group measures 7/8” and also the red and white target at 725 yards where the group measures 2.15” on a windy day when I shot both groups.
