[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2805695, member: 10755"] I built my 338 Edge on a trued REM 700 action and to use the 285g bullet, even with a Wyatt’s installed, I had to single feed. The difference in velocity over the standard 338 RUM is worth it in the end, however the performance was still not up to what I was looking for. I have my own wildcat case I developed several years ago, no fancy names tacked on, built on a CZ550 Safari Magnum action that was trued and altered to handle 4.00” long cartridges, it’s a 338-416 Rigby Improved 45° that propels 285g and 300g bullets well above 3000fps. In fact, pushing max pressure with AR2214 or US 869 it will go beyond 3200fps, but for serious work at 2000m I use a custom 323g solid copper CNC turned bullet at just under 3100fps, does the job very well. The Edge was very accurate, but not quite as good as the above, so I moved it along. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
