[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1582130, member: 106464"] If you are going to go build one you may as well go with a 28" or 30" tube to get the most out of that case. I'm getting 3300 with the 225 AB out of my 338 edge (28" + break). I was very pleased with the bear that I shot this spring at 600 yards with that bullet. I packed it around for a few days in the hills and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, both weight and lenght were very managable. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't my 24" barreled 8lb 280 AI, but it didn't bother me. The 338 edge is a 300 RUM necked up (bit more case capacity than the 338 RUM). If your going with a custom barrel the only thing that will cost you more that a 338 RUM would be dies. And for that expence you get a nice little gain in the fps department! If you would like to play with one before you decide, just hit me up sometime. I'm over in the baker/GR valley quite often. [/QUOTE]
