I feel like this thread has been derailed pretty significantly. Let's see if we can reel it back in for the o.p. ....

Yes sir, I realize how unusual this is. I've discussed this with a few of the authorities out there and all have said that I have something special going on here. I believe that 2900 to 2950 wouldn't be too far out of the norm. I understand that bartlien barrel's are considered to be one of the faster barrels out there however I don't quite think that that is the full answer. I can only guess that pushing the bullet so deeply into the case must have the most to do with it, OAL to the lands with my chamber is 3.820 And I'm shooting just off the lands.

Who makes the best Edge brass or is it all fire formed? Brass cost can be negligeble if a guy can get multiple loadings on it.
ADG .338 Brass, ready to go!
another source that has the 338 edge head stamp is Bertram brass.You can also get 300 ultra mag brass from Norma and Nosler, they won't have the Edge headstand though, also you'll have to Open up the neck to except a 338 bullet.

Nobody makes it 15? Oh well, 2 rifles and let go on the 11 th year isn't bad!

From the data I have seen, nothing beats the .338/.378 Weatherby. I built one in the 1980s.

Well the improved version of the 338 Lapua would be pretty much a dead heat with it.
While it is a good choice, it for sure isnt the best choice as for velocity.
Lots of things have happened since the 80s.
As much as i hate to admit it. lol

Also with better brass for the Lapua.
