Thinking of building a long range rifle in .338 Edge (.338-.300 RUM to some), but I don't know where you get brass.  I looked online and was unable to find any mention of people selling these cases.  I wouldn't have to make them myself would I? Sad
Your buddies shoot .338 Edge don't they BK? Smiley

.300 RUM necked up, not a huge chore, I don't think the edge even requires fireforming, a set of custom dies and you are on your way

I'm betting Edge will be along shortly with more info.

Ok well that's not too bad then.  I didn't want to spend all my time fireforming cases instead of shooting.. Wink

I would never back away from a "one off" type of cartridge such as the tcu's or the edge just because of fireforming. Completely reworking the brass through multiple dies and trims, that is where I draw the line.

When I was doing a lot of case forming work I would use the fireforming as part of my load development process. You have to work them up and sort compatible components anyway you go about it so fireforming creates no additional work or loss of quality shooting.
