Scott
What kind of PDA is that? and what ballistic software are you using?

Scott
How accurate is the Nightforce ballistic program compared to field data at beyond 1K range?

The two are very similar and probably within 50fps of each other with the Edge being a little faster.

About 2.4sec with the load Shawn runs.
 
Re: 1602 yard shot on youtube

Infact boys I believe that shot was made with Shawns 338 Allen Mag ( 338/408. The video is on Shawns DVD and after a first round miss and correction he made that second round hit. In a good bit of wind I might add !

Shawn built my gun too and he sure can walk the walk !

Here is my gun in 338 EDGE with a 3 shot group at 1342 yards in a 10 mph full value wind from the weekend

Re: 1602 yard shot on youtube

Performance wise they are the same. RUM brass is cheaper but won't get as many reloads as Lapua brass. Lapua requires a bigger bolt face, which limits rechambering to something else (which will never happen after you shoot either).
 
Re: 1602 yard shot on youtube

You could not go wrong with a well made one of either.

The LAP will beat the edge for speed with the same length barrel generally. Most edge rifles are 28-30" finished plus break. 30" probably being the prefered length by most that I know of personally.

They both are fun to shoot.
