[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 454512, member: 4809"] Bryan, Thank you in advance for allowing yourself to get sucked into a pointless debate on caliber choice! While I fully understand your argument when it comes to the 277 caliber, logic has no place in this debate. :-) If logic ruled, then the 270 Winchester should have died out years ago. The simple fact is: I wanted an Allen Magnum and this one came up for sale on LRH. I would have preferred a 7mm AM, but this used rifle was too good of a deal to pass up. It never even crossed my mind that the one bullet maker for my caliber would cease making the bullet I needed. I fully understand the business side of Berger's decision. I've got the same dollar signs on my side of the economic equation. When it costs $700 - $800 to rebarrel (custom fluted barrel + smithing + decent brake) and then new dies, brass, etc., switching calibers becomes a major decision. Especially if you only have 400 shots down the 277 tube you currently have on the gun. In the end, I'm just growing impatient for some projectiles to shoot and poking someone else with a cattle prod always seems to make me feel better about my own situation. I just knew that the people at Berger Bullets would step forward and help out - even if only to provide a friendly target for my frustration. Many thanks for the response Bryan, and Happy New Year to everyone on this thread. [/QUOTE]
