    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Darepost started this thread and I answered his questions. Hart/Pacnor barrels. Anyone with experience/knowledge of chambering. I didn't realize that it was several months old and now attended by a bunch of idiot kids. I assure you it is yours and I will not...

    Range Report Barrel Life .300 ultra mag

    Re: Barrel Life .300 ultra mag RWG, The barrel life of the edge is many rounds beyond the 300 ultramag from what I have found. I have both built back in late 1998 and shot 1000+ rounds. More erosion in the 300 ultramag by far. Of the 338-300 ultramags or edge I did 10-12 years ago that I am...

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Dareposte, I just saw the date was April on this. But I just joined and didn't know that. If you have already got your components your edge is an exceptional rifle and you will enjoy it at long range. If you haven't, I used both Pac-Nor and Hart barrels...

    Re: Performance update on Hornady 285's Do we have a BC on the 285? I didn't see it posted in there.

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? It varied with the different throat designs I used while developing the cartridge. I did some with a short throat and some had wby freebore and many in between those extremes to see what worked best. I went through a year and many barrels coming up with what...

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? AJ, There was no argument between us on long range hunting. I was trying to answer the guys questions from experience and facts. You were quoting everything I said and trying to make something of it trying to be confrontational. I quickly realized your lack...

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Ace, thanks for discussing this. Your data reflects mine and sierras. 2750 fps in 26" barrels with 338 RUM. In 30" barrels I got around 2850 fps. To answer your questions. Most all my barrel twists were 1-10 after the 300 smk came out because they would shoot...

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Ace, I stand corrected on the math and my appologies. I am just asking what am I missing here. Where is the 100 fps. Both get best accuracy between 2750 and 2850 fps. That is the same it looks like to me. Where is my info flawed based on real world knowledge...

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Ace, Easy to see you failed math. 100 rifles in three years doesn't quite fit your math. After the extensive testing when the 338 RUM came out in 2001 I quit building the 338-300 ultramag after developing it 1998. Because at that point there was no need for...

    Lightweight hunter.. Tikka T3 Series good option?

    Re: Lightweight hunter.. Tikka T3 Series good option? They are hard to beat in that price range. I have the 300 wsm, 300 win mag and the 338 win mag in the t-3 light version. All are very accurate. I just finished an Alaskan safari taking dall sheep, grizzly and caribou using the 338 win mag...

    Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications

    Re: Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications In the 308 face short action I get excellent long range performance with the 243 AI and 107 MK. Standard magnum bolt face the 264 STW does very well at long range. 378 wby/Lapua bolt face the 338 Kahn does well at long range which is a 338-378...

    300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 ultra mag deerkilr, To answer your question, there is no comparison. The 300 RUM can be made to be a 1500 yard rifle. The 300 wsm can not. There is a solid 300-400 fps difference in the velocities of these two. Both are great rifles and very accurate rifles for what they are designed...

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? Sorry, I meant 30" custom barrel. Typo

    338 Edge - who's running one?

    Re: 338 Edge - who's running one? What 100 fps? I tested them extensively side by side in 2001 when the 338 RUM came out. I had built about a hundred 338-300 ultramags by that time and wanted to see the difference. I found exactly what remington said at the shot show when they introduced the...
