will this work for a 338 edge build or do you have to move up to the 8000 or 8500?

 

[Pdvdh]

Yes, it will work for the 338 Edge. Check with your gunsmith for absolute confirmation.

There web site says you need the 8500 for a 338 Laupa magnum.

I'm pretty sure 264win was asking about whether or not the 7000 would work for the 338 Edge, which is based off of a standard magnum case head diameter.

But I agree that the 338 Lapua would best be mated to the larger Lawton action/bolt.

264Win, the action will work perfect for the edge.

Yes, i miss read the thread. Okey, im not to familar with either one of the 338's, what is the difference between the Edge and the Laupa : case head diameter, etc. Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
The 338 Edge is the 300 RUM case necked to 338 w/.550 head diameter while the 338 Lapua is .590 head diameter like the 416 Rigby ao the 378 Wby. That requires a larger action. I have built a 338 Edge on the 7000 Lawton and it is well sized for that round.
