[QUOTE="Broz, post: 543180, member: 7503"] Ageed, it was over pressure, for the brass anyway. No other signs of pressure were there. Bolt lift was smooth as silk. I blamed it on soft weak brass. All rifles are different, but Shawn has stated he uses a 92 gr. load. Mainly this was done to try to get the same velocities of my Lapua. The Edge was owned by a friend and even had a longer barrel. It was sold and he now shoots a Lapua. I have nothing against an Edge, but if I was doing it again I would go with the LM again. Both are good chamerings. The OP asked for comparisons. I stated what I see as difference. As for actions, I used a Mark V Wby and it works great. Some smiths will not build the LM on a 700, so if the only action choice is a 700 rem. action, then go Edge or .338 Rum. Jeff [/QUOTE]
