[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1524815, member: 1656"] If you don't want a brake, stick with 338WM. I am a big fan of the big 338s and own an Edge, but brakes are mandatory. Given the bolt face you have I'd say 33 Nosler or 338 RUM. I love the Edge, but it requires additional attention to make it work in a standard long action. You need a Wyatt's extended box, and you need machine work to the mag well opening of the action and the bolt stop to deal with the extra long rounds. Now, I handled all of this at home with a Dremel and ended up with a wonderful rifle, but most people would shy away form this. The Nosler and RUM should not require this. [/QUOTE]
