[QUOTE="scope-eye, post: 2737678, member: 21274"] The most RL17 I have ever been able to load in a 338 Rum with a 160gr Barnes TTSX is 102gr which produced speeds of just over 4000 FPS The 338 EDGE is 108gr wth the same powder and bullet produces 4200 FPS. Just for comparison my buddy has a Rem 700P in 338 Lapua and that can hold 100gr of RL17 and a 160gr, still gets 4000 fps with 2gr less, my take is the steeper bottleneck makes up for less powder.
