Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Which Big .33?

Have seen many brux barrels, never heard of a bonx ???

You haven't heard of the Bonx? Next to the Super Chicken, it's the hottest thing going.

E-bonx made in Harlem?

Didn't read the thread but on a 700 if just go Rum. Edge is longer and takes up more mag length and although it has a bit more capacity most people I've seen with one down load it to find the node. A RUM will feed and function well and is somewhat efficient. The Lapua is s good choice for quality brass and availability but I've never really liked them on s rem action. The 338/375 ruger interests me a bit too. Chasing a few extra fps isn't always worth it now that we have range finders and it's easy to just dial a few more clicks. I've been doing pretty well at long range lately with my little 24" 300 wsm and 215 hybrids at 2800.

Burleyboy, thanks. Yeah, I'm not concerned with max'ing out fps.

Question: you say EDGE is longer than RUM.... why is that?

Uhhhh because the 300 RUM case is longer than the 338 RUM case... Literally the whole point of the EDGE...

Tanner

I know that, but he's talking COAL.

COAL is longer because the case is longer. Tough to wrap ones mind around, I realize.

Tanner

Don't be a dick. He's the first person in all these pages to say that COAL is a potential issue in an EDGE in a M700 action. I'd like to hear more about what he has to say about that. STFU or go away.

Jeff, sometimes you make no sense at all. Longer case always mean longer COAL. Duh!

As I posted earlier with the proper bottom motel one can load out to 3.9" COAL in a Rem 700 action. Don't act like this hasn't been covered.

Sorry your feelings got hurt Jeff.

All RUM cases have COAL issues in a 700 LA. That is why a lot of people use an extended box like Wyatt's or a DBM or set them up as single shot.

And the 195 Bergers will still smash elk as far as you could possibly hit them every time.

Tanner

Be nice or go away JWP. This is Jeffy's place of solace.

Tanner

Stop picking on the obama voter guys. She's a little slow.

Curious to hear about your experiences smashing elk with the 195 Berger, Tanner.

JWP, yes, I know this. I personally milled the action for my 7 WSM and installed an extended Wyatt's, modified the bolt stop, etc, and will do so in this case as well (or go detached mag).

Burleyboy says he's been around a number of both RUM's and EDGE's in M700's and has raised a point that I'm curious to hear more about, which is COAL issues with the EDGE. I seriously doubt that the EDGE's he saw were in bone-stock M700 actions, right? So my vote is we let the gentleman expand on that, if he will.

Oh good Lord. Post-holiday grumpiness much, guys?

The only way to have a COAL issue is with long heavy high BC Bullets in a stock magazine no other way.

Give it a season or 2, there'll be a gallery of bulls smacked with that bullet but they already have proven to be killers. If a .760 BC going 2850 doesn't seem like an elk killer then I don't know what does.

Tanner

You claim to build guns, yet cant figure this stuff out?

I see.

I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experience with building and running big .33's on M700 actions. Thanks!

Thanks John. Appreciate the definitiveness of that. That's my gut on it as well. Still, would love to hear from Burleyboy as to what he saw. Hopefully he'll check back in.
