Yes, the 300's are just too long to fit the magazine.

I like it! The 338 Edge has intrigued me for some time.

[yobuck]

very nice. have you done any testing as yet? barrel is what 1 in 10?
what are your plans for it?

Good info. I sold a Stevens 200 LA that was rebarreled in 308. I'm thinking I might try to buy it back and do a 338 Edge.

Mine is a Remage setup based on a Sendero 300 RUM, with a 32" 10 twist barrel and with 105gr + of RL17, I get like 4200FPS + it is the most insane load you could ever fire from a conventional action, There is basically no drop till past the 500 yard mark, The vapor trail looks like a 50 BMG tracer round, you gotta I love it.
