[QUOTE="Jim Bradbury, post: 1831080, member: 110129"] I am having a 338 Edge built for me. In the spirit of wanting to be ready once the rifle is finished. I purchased 50 pieces of ADG 338 edge Brass and 20 pieces of Bertram 338 Edge brass, not knowing if I would prefer one over the other. I was admiring my purchases after they were delivered. That is when I noticed that the angles on the shoulders are not the same when compared to each other, Bertram to ADG. After my initial panic, I realized that once I fire them they will fire form to my chambering. Knowing that the gunsmith will use the same reamer for my rifle that he used for my hunting partners rifle was in my gun safe(Long Story). I got his rifle and chambered a few of the brass. They did chamber but were extremely stiff and hard to close the action on some of them. One of them I did get the action closed but had to pound on the bolt with the palm of my hand to get it opened again. Any ideas? I could certainly use the help. Thank you, Jim [/QUOTE]
