newbee Questions Ha ok here goes ive got a 338 ultra has anyone compared the two rifles equally i geuss what im trying to say is has anyone put the 4 grand in a custom 338 ultra then compared it to the 338 edge, the reason im asking is for one the ultra will shoot store bought ammo got into that last year at a hunt were only box ammo was allowed lead tip only. then on top of that i was reading were the edge lost accuracy when case was filled with heavy load of powder, now i have 338 ultra loads with 82 to 91 grains behind 300 match kings, im thinking about throating mine and doing some other things. the reason behind these questions is i have the rifles to build the edge but if there are not great differences i just soon not tear my 300 ultra up cause it was a shooter out of the box just unbelievable. i already had to down size my scope on the 338 cause it rattled every large heavy scope loose the only scope i have that will stay put is 3200 bushnell. this gun has brake and custom thumbhole weighted stock those dam 300 MK with a compressed load whips those scopes around good. got leapold bases and rings on all my ultras the 300 ultramag seems to have a great deal more recoil but i never had a problem with it . so if i set my 338 up like the edge meaning same barrel,trigger and bolt wont it shoot equall to the edge. i read were the edge shoots best with like 92to 94 grains powder anyway. GO EASY PLEASE
