I was thinking about ordering a barrel and starting to round up parts for 338 build. I was looking at Bugholes website and saw a note for a 4" cylinder on some barrels. I was leaning toward a 338 Edge because its a Savage 110 single shot action in 7 mag and it doesn't need to fit a mag. But 300 Ultra Mag brass may become hard to find so that may change my mind to a Lapua. Is the 4" cylinder necessary for either? I would guess it would be nice for the Lapua.
