Used in a super light rifle these Nosler chamberings have a lot of merit if your chosen projectile allows the ammo to be mag fed---and that's a big $$$$$ if
I can't see the point yet with the 338 variant
When you take away the fact that the illustration/advert is using a 225g accubond and start using a decent LR projectile the story changes dramatically.
33 Nosler........300g elite hunter projectile..........26 inch barrel......... 2750fps
338 lapua. 300grainer. 24 inch barrel. 2850fps
338 Edge. 300grainer. 24 inch barrel. 2900fps
Then further still if you AI the 338 Lapua it becomes something quite special
It's simply due to case capacity, and the 33 Nosler Has the least powder capacity of the bunch, -and is just a chambering that hasn't had the Edge reamer pushed in far enough yet
