Another cip magazine question , this time 338 edge

[J-L]

I have a zeus qc la , planning on either 338 rum or 338 edge

The 338 rum shoulder is at 2.296"

The 338 edge from what ive been reading is based on the 300 RUM case , which the shoulder is 2.387"

I just want the best CIP mags for reliability , from a few years ago there are way more options in CIP mags i think due to popularity of the PRC rounds.

Has anyone specifically tried the XLR cip mags for the 338 edge or other mags ?

I know accurate mag sells the 300 RUM CIP mags and just wondering if i should get those.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

No experience with XLR mags.
But almost all my DBM mags I own (besides my AR and a couple Hawkins Hunter mags) are Accurate Mags. Their CIP mags feed fantastic. There are a lot of options, so get the correct one for the cartridge you choose.

And yes, the 338 Edge is based off the longer 300RUM body.

I use CIP mags for my warbird. No issues at all

Isn't a CIP mag going to be to short for an Edge? They're to short for my 7 RUM

Im curious as well

So from what i gather if i do a 338 edge , with the 300 rum cip mags from accurate mag i should be good to go?

An Edge w/ 300 grain bullet seated to the neck/boat tail junction will be longer than a CIP mag.

That would probably be a single feed in just about any action shorter than 4", right?
My .300RUM w. 215s and 230s were pushed way deep to fit in a 3.825" mag. Unless you want to do some major work to an R700 to open it up to 4", this is the max you can go, and it still takes a little action/bolt stop work.

Yup.

Has anyone loaded these to 3.6" seems pretty short to me
