[QUOTE="steelhead, post: 116727, member: 5773"] I was finally able to get to the range today and try out my new EDGE. I loaded up 15 rounds using the following: 300 gr. SMK 92 gr. H1000 CCI 250 primer Remington Brass (brand new. all I did to it was size it up to 338, deburred the flash holes and slightly chamferred the neck opening) I started out with a 3 shot 100 yard group: [img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1197956/Edge1st3(2).jpg[/img] If you recall from the other post, Shawn test fired a .242" group. I was able to do the same with my first 3 shots!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I then proceeded to shoot targets at 650 yards, 700 yards and 900 yards. I hit the 650 yard plate with the first round and was able to hit it consistantly. The 700 and 900 yard targets, my tragectory table was off and on each I had to come down 2 moa. After that, it was consistant hits. Recoil was very pleasant. It was less than my .308's. I could shoot this rifle all day and not be effected by the recoil. Needless to say, I'm extremely please with this rifle! Shawn did and excellent job. Thanks Shawn! Devin [/QUOTE]
