[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 80029, member: 10"] Ric, Yes fireforming can get tiresome, thats why I generally only form 50 rounds of brass per batch and shoot it until it give up the ghost. I would agree that for someone wanting to shoot their rifles alot the Allen Magnums are not the best choice, no arguement from me there. I will also admit that ripping a 156 gr .257 bullet out of a light 30" barrel at +3400 fps can result in some load tweaking being required compared to a more conventional round. Also, a short action rifle can easily be built into a 7 lb rifle with great accuracy and consistancy whereas that is not practical with this type of round, again, I fully agree. But for pure HorsePower, which I think you know I have a soft side for, theres nothing like lighting a match under 100 gr of WC872 in a 1/4 bore rifle!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Very interested in seeing your new rigs, please post pics even if this thread dies off. Whos doing the work? Chris?? If so we all know they will be impressive to the eye as well as on the range!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
