[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 647153, member: 2261"] Dan Broz offers some good advice, but there is a magnum boltface alternative to the 338LM, its the 338 Edge. I don't own one personally so I can't speak directly to barrel or brass life but the folks that I know that own one rarely shift over to the 338LM. Granted you will still be using Remington or Winchester brass, but the rest of what Jeff said is applicable to the Edge. If Agustus will jump in he'll tell you how much he loves his Edge. I LOVE my 338LM improved, and it does everything that I wanted it to do when shooting at and beyone 1,900 yards here in the Nevada desert. The Lapua brass has many firingings through it and is tilll going strong (I too anneal the brass often and run 0.002 neck tension). But if I didn't have a 338 boltface action, I would be looking hard at the 338 Edge before I changed actions to build a 338. Just my $0.02.... YMMV Jeffvn [/QUOTE]
