With all of the Edge builds that have been talked about on this site, I am surprised none of those guys have come back with answers?
In 2008, Remington reported that someone chambered a 308 Win in a 270 Win and touched it off :-(. The fortunate individual was unharmed, but the barrel and stock were destroyed. The case head "welded" to the bolt face so the bolt was also destroyed. The action body itself was unharmed, all of the damaged parts were replaced, and the rifle put back into service. It was estimated that the action experienced, at least, 110,000 psi. The 300 RUM, the parent case for the 338 Edge, is a 65,000psi case.
I believe that the Savage action is "at least" as strong as a Remington 700 action :-) !
I have complete confidence in the strength of the Savage small shank action :-) !
I would still like to hear from some of the veteran 338 Edge builder/shooters !.........Thanks.........Jim
