[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 64957, member: 10"] Goodgrouper, I totally agree with you on this. While ballistically the smaller bores can be made to be the equal or even exceed the big 338s(you should see what that little 257 Allen does with the 156 gr ULD at 2000 yards compared to the 338 Kahn [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). Still, they are not rounds designed for heavy rifles that will be used with moderate to high volume shooting. I agree they just are not compatable with long throat life compared to the bigger bore, no question you are 100% correct on that and I tell my customers this. As you know and we have talked about, the Allen Mags are designed to be used as big game rounds first and formost. They do offer the ballsitics to be true extreme range rounds but they are designed to be chambered in 8 to 9.5 lb rifles and designed to offer long range hunters an option to reach out to at least 600 yards with very minimal vertical adjustment. This will be the case of the 7mm Allen as well. We are looking to top the performance of the 7.21 Firebird in velocity but also combine the round with conventional big game premium bullets as well as the new Wildcat Bullets which will offer Ballistic Coefficents higher then anything offered yet in a conventional ULD bullet under 50 cal. This is on paper so far but will let all know how it translates into the real world. The goal is a +1.000 B.C. bullet launched at +3200 fps and using a bullet jacket designed to expand on game at close range and extreme range. We will see what happens. Good Shooting!!
