I guess if your stuck on a 225 or 250 bullet I would just put a 300 Rum together.
I have a Remage 26" 1/9 twist OMR Carbon 300 Rum and it shoots the 245 gr bergers lights out at 3010 ft.per.sec. with NV-570!
maybe another option?
Single feed on this one ..

Good luck going to a RUM on a STANDARD size Rem 700 action…it will not fit even if you change bolts, neither will a standard magnum.
You need to start with the correct size action first.
I built a 338 Edge, performance was OK, nothing to write home about to be honest.
Cheers.

33 nosler (I'm running now and love it)
33 Sherman mag
338 rum ( also had one and worked on a couple)
Throat a 33 nosler properly and it a great round! The 33 Sherman mag runs identical to the 33 nosler when @khoutdoors and I compared our two rifles.
I went 33 nosler since peterson makes brass for it otherwise I would not have gone that way.

I like the RUMS.
But 338 cal. It would be a
338 Lapua Mag. Ai. 35 or 40*
What ever you do you will need another reciever for the Big Dogs.

We are presently running edge on 28" proof barrel with 265-275 grain lazers. Shoots well.

Can't help you yet. we just received several .338 barrels from Kreiger. the lightest one weighs in at 20# 4 oz. We do had a few 1.45" to 1" @33" that are lighter.
Leaning towards at least TWO in .338LMAILS and then maybe something else that sparks interest from these posts.
Been sitting on these parts for 3 years. Hopefully get them together soon. Was gonna use AntiX thinking 777R now. Have260HH to run.
Edge shooter here. I'm using a Rem 700 action because I got it for next to nothing. Smith recut it, put a PTG bolt in it, side bolt release, opened it up for a 4" Wyatt's mag box and Obendorf bottom metal. I shoot Berger 250 grn Elite Hunters. Absolutely no regrets with this rifle.

..that R-700 action is like 'mothers milk', once they are cleaned up they are as good as anything you can buy for many times their price...I own at least 20 of them done in every imaginable cartridge for competition level benchrest from 100-1000...none of them are afraid when sitting at the line..
