[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 149320, member: 4557"] BB, your right I do sometimes go against the grain when it comes to Bullet type. The only thing I seem to do different than everyone elso is use of bullets. However, I will be using only high BC bullets out of this rifle. I will be using it for ranges out to 1500 to 2000 yards. I set most of my rifles up to use the Higher BC V-Max and Ballsitic tip bullets. I usually only get to shoot out to 1000 yards where I live and these bullets do really well for me at that range, + they anchor the varmints really well. There are times when I do shoot past a 1000 yards and when I do, I always use the Higher BC Bullets. I am currently having a 300-WSM built around the 125grn BT for varmint hunting out to 1000 yards. I am going to need a rifle for shooting past a 1000 yards and that's why I decided on the 7mm Allen Mag and the High BC bullets. I considered going with the 338 Allen Mag, however, I 've decided the 7mm Allen Mag will be plenty gun for shots out to 2000 yards. Regarding your question about what I will be using the rifle for. I will use it for Long range varmint hunting on Squirrels, Coyotes, and Crows. I will also shoot it in some F-Class competitions at our local range and they're not sanctioned events, they are for fun and bragging rights. I think the rifle will be to heavy, and becuase of the brake, will not be legal for santioned comps. Regarding the scope, I might go with the 8x32x56mm NXS. I just bought one, so I will see how I like it. Regarding action, it will be a single shot. Regarding Kirby, I will listen to his advice for sure!!!! I already know he is a great guy. He was getting ready to build a 338 Allen Mag for me, and I had to pull out do to my job situation. He gave me ALL of my money back with NO questions asked. I sold all of my guns, scopes, reloading equipment, rangefinder, ect. It looks like my job situation is going to get really good here soon, and I will be able to build back my collection. The 7MM Allen Mag is going to be in my collection. Regarding the bullet choice, I am proably going to have it throated for the 180grn and 200grn Wildcat RBBT Bullets. I have heard Kirby say this is the best way to set the 7mm Allen Mag up. Regarding velocity, I thought it was running the 200grn bullets around 3400fps, I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info BB.
