[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 80130, member: 10"] Steve, Well you are seeing the actual result of what Richard and I set out to design. I am extremely happy that it is turned out the way it did. You see we both had very important roles to play in making not only the 270 AM work but all of the Allen Magnums. My job, design a round that offered enough horsepower to generate high muzzle velocities. Also, design the round to offer accuracy at extended ranges and finally build the rifle platform to get everything done correctly. Richards job was to design a bullet, that would first off, handle the stresses of the huge rounds this crazy Montana boy came up with but then take that high initial velocity and design a bullet that would work for us down range instead of against up. As you know, high BC bullet technology is nothing new. ITs developed alot over the last decade or so but its not new. What is relatively new is taking extreme BC bullets in medium caliber rounds, 25, 26, 27 and 28 cals and combine them with 3300-3500 fps velcoties. The result is exactly what you are seeing, extreme velocity and energy retention at long range. As you have seen and witnessed the 270 AM hits that gong with authority for a 270 caliber round, in fact it will compete with the larger 30 cals in this respect. Now jump things up to near 3500 fps and you will probably be getting some through hole in that plate of steel. Basically your seeing the benefits of these new rounds and its all about down range power. Wait until you hammer a big buck at 600 yards and hear that SMACK echo back to your elevated stand. I am not BSing that I have never heard anything like the 257 and 270 AM landing on deer size game at 500-600 yards. It just has to be heard to believe. There is no doubt of a hit!! Keep her up, when are you going to start pushing that trottle a bit harder with formed cases? You really need to see how rediculiously easy it is to hit a target at 600 yards with that 169.5 gr ULD loaded to near 3500 fps!!! Later, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
