The Edge is really only single feed only, especially with my new long throat reamer.

It should easily push the 300 Berger over 2800 & the 285 Amax faster.

I will get it going as soon as I get a chance, won't be tomorrow, 9 hours in the car

You must be delivering it to me personaly to test that's brilliant Greg!!!!.nice looking rig I assume there will be a vid soon?.

I finally got it up the range today to break it in & start get some loads sorted for it.

I tried ADI 2225, VV N570 & Alliant RL33 with the 300 Berger & 285 Amax.

I mainly concentrated on the Berger today.

It didn't take long to stop coppering, as usual for these barrels.

It is showing plenty of promise & has great velocity

Here is one of the groups I shot today, it will end up with more velocity from N570 & RL33 will provide the most.



The brass is on its first firing so the ES & accuracy can be a bit average.

It looks like it will run the 300s happily at 2900+fps.

Initially the 285s look like they will cruise at 3000-3050+ but I haven't tried them with RL33 yet, that's tomorrows job

The recoil isn't too bad & will try to get a video sorted tomorrow.
