[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 323308, member: 13285"] Tried a few more loads today. I bumped the shoulder back a few thou to take some of the stress off the bolt lugs on closing the action as it was a bit tight to chamber a round.. 96 grains gave me 2893 fps and hit 13" high. 97 grains gave me 2958 fps and hit 13.5" high. With the 97 grain load the primers are starting to flatten out. No sign of this in the 96 grain load. I think a 98 grain load would give me 3000 fps but is it worth it running with warm loads? Ok, so what do I do now? Do I call it quits or do I go for 3000 fps? How hot do some of you .338 Edge shooters run your rifles? [/QUOTE]
