[QUOTE="JayIdaho, post: 322041, member: 2379"] IMO the Edge is not worth the hassle. The 338 Ultra has plenty of energy and in a pinch you can shoot factory ammo. Like when you are 1100 miles from home and find that your ammo is still sitting on the bench. Ca ca happens. Probably he best way to fire form the brass would be to expand the neck to something like .345-.355 inside diameter. Then, neck size just enough of the neck to make the case snug in the chamber. That is how a lot of folks make the 6 Dashers from 6 BR brass and probably BRX cases, too. My choice would be to simply take enough off of the shoulder and face of the barrel to make the rifle a plain vanilla 338 Ultramag and forget the whole Edge idea. I'd sure like to know what the 'smith used for headspace gage(s). [/QUOTE]
