338 what should i do

[Harv87]

So i have a 338 barrel laying around and a rem 700 la mag bolt face. So what would be you go to case? I had a 338 edge and loved it was considering doing another. Im not scared to form fire cases so whats ur say on the matter thanks

Long range target playing in elr but still using to hunt at distance. Is what im using it for.

You can buy 338 edge brass now and it’s quite good
Really like my 338 edge.

338 RUM is simple, duplicates the Lapua ballistics and performs well as a repeater.

338-300 PRC 80% of the performance of a Lapua at 60% of the cost.

I like the looks of the 338-375R for a hunting setup, its in the middle. The Edge would carry better at ELR.

Not a single thing wrong with a 338 Ultra mag, the right bullets and lots of retumbo and it will shoot as good as any of them.. H4831 is way to slow for that big case...

See my reply under the .338RUM accuracy thread

Now that there are better sources for RUM brass, that can be made into 338 RUM brass I think an Edge is a no brainer. Especially if you still have dies from the last one.

Adg has 338rum and edge brass. Id lean rum if needing a repeater

Interesting, not come across that one before. Performs better than a straight 300 PRC then?

Better is relative.
Anti material yes, seeing impacts at distance yes, as a hunting round yes
