[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 111719, member: 10"] BJ, The Kahn necked up to 50 cal would basically be the 50 Peacekeeper and no it does not have enough horsepower to get to the performance levels I want. Many have said the 50 Peacekeeper will get you a solid 2400 fps with a 750 gr A-Max. In reality the rifles I have seen and the tests I have read about from those that I would trust have said its more like a 2300 fps tops round with upper end loads. STill potent but well behind what I am looking to get. Also, the Norma cases are soft and will not stand up to high pressures like a 408 CT case will. You would have to run the 50 Peacekeeper very high in pressure to even get near this class of performance and in any conventional factory receiver I would not recommend this. If you wanted to load to the 2100-2200 fps range I would say this would be one of the better choices but not for what I want to do. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
