338 Edge

[sable tireur]

Side note
the Boring rifles break is the loudest break I've ever had the misfortune of shooting.
My Sordin ear muffs were not enoug, needed plugs and muffs.
Anyone ever had one of these breaks?
was also shooting a 7 mag with a regular side port and it was about half as loud seemingly lol…

It's not just the Boring brake which loud, most of them are, by design.

I've been wearing muffs and plugs for the last 2 decades trying to preserve my hearing. The plugs are well made commercial ear appliances not those squishy little cylinders... I spend lots of my time at my range shooting rifles from mouse-like to the excessively loud, always with proper protection. Like your eyes, you only get one shot () at protecting your hearing and you need to practice that protection every day. In the shop I wear electronic plugs to fend off those often irritating constant motor noises.

Whats everyone's thoughts on the badlands precision bulldozer for that 1000 plus terminal performance.
I have mixed feelings about the monos at those 1000 yd plus situations…

I suggest calling Badlands for a discussion regarding your thoughts. They are the designers and manufacturers.

Enjoy the process!

Very consistent. Velocity was 3009 out a 28" carbon barrel. Velocity was 3009 to 3011 in that group. That was 3 shots. CE gave me some data and recommended me to try the 265's. Just got to get out and stretch its legs now. My kid has been shooting it lately and said don't change anything. Lol.

I have a box of the 252 gr Ce for my 338 edge but haven't tryed them yet .

Ok. I started with 275's and they shot well, but was looking at the twist on my barrel and decided to try what CE recommended. And it came to life quick. Shooting N570 94 grains. 215 primer. Used Norma brass. Coal 4.210" using a Proof barrel.

Ok
This is a 11 1/2 pound gun

 

[Rum Man]

My 338's range from 19.6 pounds to 9.7 pounds . I will always have a few 338's ! They just flat shoot and take care of game !

N568 would possibly be a good powder. I'm playing with it in other calibers and it is showing really good potential out of the gate.

Good to see another good report on the cutting edge.
Once it cools off down here in lower arizona I'll get back to the long range stuff…hopefully in the next couple weeks.

Anyone tried that Winchester staball HD powder in a big 338 ywt??

Ok thanks for th info.

I really would love to run the KRG Chassis
But…maybe the cip length would not be long enough…?

C.I.P. is generally plenty! If you EVER want to go longer you can single feed a few! Take a good long look at COAL for your everyday needs and it should help with your decision...just me!
