338 RUM to 338 edge?

You won't get 200fps more. You get less than 100fps if they are throated the same.

I want 1/4 moa gun. I know how hard it is to get one. I have 5 rifles. Only 1 of them I can keep under 1/2 moa. I have even considered the 7 WSM. I really need this build to be a shooter.

Do you know any good gun Smiths? I would like to get a PTG bolt to cut down on some of the slop. Not sure what brand of barrel I want. If I go with the .30 cal I want a 1/11 twist and throat for 190-210 VLD. Not sure how tight to make the neck. How much to: fit the bolt to the reciver, pin recoil lug to reciver, taper, cut flutes in the barrel, crown and barrel the action?

If your going to go all out get a custom action. I'm about to order a 300WSM reamer throated for 215's to run in a long action with a .339 or .3395 neck (I have to seat bullets and mic a few more cases to get a max # and then go .003" over. The OAL is looking to be about 3.175". I've never built a 300wsm for myself, I have for other people, so I'm going to give it a go. I would go with a 10 twist that way you can shoot 215's if you want to.

A 1/4 to 3/8 MOA gun isn't that hard to accomplish. I have several guns that will shoot in the .1's if I'm up to it and just about everything I shoot regularly will shoot sub 3/8".

I want to use my McMillan A5 stock and it has my Rem 700 long action in it now. What action would fit this stock?

Without modifying the bolt notch and cut for the bolt release the Remington is the best bet.
