[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 78710, member: 10"] Floyd, For what your looking for the Allen Magnums would certainly get the job done but I feel they are really more then what your asking for with this new rifle. Going from a 270 WSM to a 270 Allen Magnum is like going from a 300 WSM to a 30-378 in ballistic performance. I do not think you need that much Horsepower unless you simply want it on hand!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I would agree with the 7mm WSM comments. There is nothing wrong with the ol 7mm Rem Mag either. Dispite some claims, it will still top the WSM in performance and is easy to get. I have been building several rifles and handguns in the 7mm-270 WSM wildcat simply because guys want to use the fine Norma brass which is only offered in 270 and 300 WSM, not the slighly longer 7mm WSM and most do not want to deal with moving the shoulder forward, course if one used the 300 WSM brass it would be a simple task to form a secondary shoulder for headspace control for fireforming. Again, while the Allen Magnums would offer you performance to an extreme level, I am not sure they are what you are really wanting in this rifle project. I may be wrong, if so let me know and I will offer some information on them. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
