Kirby Allen - New Sponsor

[Len Backus]

Kirby is not a stranger to anyone on this site. And now welcome him as our newest Sponsor. For those who just walked in the door for the first time, Kirby's company is Allen Precision Shooting and he makes pretty darn good custom rifles and handguns. I am the proud owner of one of his handguns in 6.5 WSM.

Eddie, if you come shoot at Quantico in July, I will let you look at my 7AM but you can't touch it or shoot it.

What do you get for velocity and how many MOA to get to 1K with the WC 200 grain? Barrel length?

Yeah, Yeah I guess so if all you want is the best service, work and support.

Now we're getting somewhere.

I do not own a chronograph that way I can make up any velocity I want to and not be lying.

Kirby chronographed it at 3340fps with 102 grains of US 869. I am now running 103 grains with fully formed cases and I believe it is about 3350fps. It is a four groove 34 inch Lilja barrel. Kirby now uses Rock 5Rs with thin grooves and he can reach the same speeds with a 30 inch barrel I believe. I think Dick is using a 32 inch Rock barrel

At 54 & 78 degrees at Quantico which has an elevation of about 200', I got drops of 17.0 - 17.5 MOA at 1K. These are real fired data, not calculated. The data are the reverse of what you might believe because I kept the bullets in a cooler in the warmer weather shooting so the bullets were actually colder. Powder temperature at the time the firing pin strikes is pretty important at 1K.

Well uh thanks....i guess. I will bring my 270AM and let you look at it

They may not have a match when you come, but they might have a Rec Fire day and we could just shoot some clay pigeons and homemade targets.

[eddybo]

Okay...then....get mine out right after you get done with Joecools Just hacking on ya a bit Kirby. I know you are timely on your builds.....I am just impatient. If I remember correctly you estimated July, sounds like you will make it in plenty of time.
