338 edge

[corbin9191]

Hey everybody!
So I finally got a 338 rum rifle that is currently being transitioned into a 338 edge. Has a 26 inch tube on it. Just wondering what everyone has for load data. I will be using this rifle for hunting as well as my 2k shooting. I appreciate it!

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63250 psi, or 436 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

33 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Anyone shooting an Edge out to 2K would likely be shooting a Berger 300gr bullet or some similar very high BC bullet.

You sir are absolutely right. I will be using the 285 eldm, 300 berger, or 300 smk. I guess I should have mentioned that in my first post. I have ran my heavy 7mm out to 2k with alright results. Cant wait to push this out that distance.
