I see a bunch of people are fascinated by the 338 EDGE. Yet, hardly ever is the 338-375 Campfire (Rick Bin, Ruger, etc.) mentioned. It matches the 340 Weatherby, and does it with a standard long action. Take a 300 Win Mag, 7mm Mag, 338 Win Mag, and re-barrel it to 338-375. That is about it. PTG and others have the reamer available for rent. It pushes a 250 gr bullet to 2800 fps comfortably or a 200 gr pill to 3200. And this is with a 22"-24" barrel. Although the parent cartridge is designed for shorter barrels, and longer barrel would give you more velocity. I see a bunch of 28"-30" inch tubes with the EDGE.

you also see 2900 fps with a 300 gr. SMK out of the edge.
