338 edge

[Rum Man]

If I was building another, it would have a 9" twist as mine did. You can go 8" twist, but don't think it's necessary.
I don't know what you want to do with it, but don't expect a great jump in velocity over the 338RUM.

Cheers.

This is Very True !
I built two 338's identical, 30" barrels , carbon , t-3 Termanator, Remington actions . The 338 Rum and 300 gr bergers hit 2883 ft.per.sec and the 338 Edge 300 hr bergers hit 2884 ft.per.sec.
The Rum , Edge are so close ....it depends on throat work and if you add the +P .

I'm building a defiance action single feed any ideas on what I should throat it to? , planning on either 270grain Hornadys , 300grain Bergers and 300grain accubond long range .

It was back in Montana.
I just shot a Buddys 376 Cheytac out there two weeks ago ! We were looking for 3000 yards plus but the weather wasnt working out . I did get to shoot it at 1030 yards that day! Good Times !

Look at the truck axel on that thing!

Yes, Berger recommends 1:10" or faster; I went with 1:8" on my latest .33 cal build.

.338 Thor (NMI) with 300 Berger at 3.7" COAL touching the land.

That's nice, no need for 4" boxes with that round

???
How many grains difference in load capacity, between those two loads?
Same powder in both loads?
Thanks

I had to dig deep for the info but the 338 Rum was 95.6 gr of H-1000.
The 338 Edge was 92 .4 gr of H-1000.
Both are 30 " Carbon barrels.
338 Rum is a Benchmark and the 338 Edge is a Proof.

Please work up . This is Max Load in my Rifles .
