    338 edge COAL

    338 edge is not a very popular chambering in Canada and I am almost done my build (just need a terminator brake )

    What are you edge guys running for overall length?
    I have a 30" McGowan prefit with straight 1" diameter and
    With berger 300gr hybrid I'm touching lands at 4.040".
    This puts the base of my bullets (ahead of boattail) right at the neck/shoulder Junction.

    Are people getting more luck jumping these or touching lands?

    I will be using Retumbo and federal 215GMM primers with 338edge Bertram brass.
    Planning a start load of 90grs.
