[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 79990, member: 10"] Ric, Interested to see what you have coming!! Also interested to see how it compares to the 257 Allen Mag as far as portability, accuracy, ballistically and terminally. I think it would be very hard to outperform this rifle for use on pronghorns in open country spot and stalk hunting but I am sure you have a very good contender. From the qualifying criteria you list for the ultimate pronghorn round, the 257 AM meets all your requirements but one, I will admit it is certainly not "Somewhat Flat shooting" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]!!! IT is about as flat as realistically possible at least comparing it to any extreme performance wildcat I have ever hear of. But I agree it does not qualify as a "Somewhat flat shooting" cartridge!! Did I mention recoil of this rifle is about that of a 223 Rem in a varmint weight rifle [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! I was even suprised at this when I started doing the barrel break in. Even less then the heavier Extreme Sporters in 257 AM. The reason, the brake works better at slowing the rearward movement of the lighter rifle. Interested to see what you have in the works!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
