[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 85104, member: 10"] Lerch and BJ, You guys are going to kill me but I guess this is as good a way as any to give the latest developments from the APS/Wildcat thinktank(This generally results in spending more money for Richard and me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). Well, RIchard will be hard at it build a new .277" ULD RBBT which I believe he settled on the 185 gr weight. As you both know I am building a 270 AM for out good Canadian friend to be a 1K whitetail hammer. Well, After the 7mm AM was released, Richard really started to like the performance of that round based on the Lapua case(I think you can probably tell where this is going). After a couple phone conversations, Richard convinced me to give him what he wanted. The reamer has been on order for 2 to 3 weeks, and the new cartridge will be called the 277 Allen Mag. Basically a 7mm AM necked down to 277 with no other changes. Believe me this is in no way an attempt to make the 270 Allen Mag obsolete as it will certainly not do that. This is just another step in pushing the performance envelope, espeically with the new 185 gr ULD RBBT coming on line this winter. I will be rechambering my Savage based 270 AM to the new 277 Allen Mag as an experiment to see how the Savage receiver will handle the Lapua case head size. After testing I will decide if the Savage can be used as a platform for the 277 Allen Mag. I am not really sure what increase in performance there will be over the 270 Allen Mag. All I know is that the 7mm Allen Mag will hit 3500 fps with a 160 gr Accubond in a 26" barrel and the 7mm and 270 are very similiar in bore size. When you guys burn your 270 AM barrels out this will hopefully be an option if you feel you need a bit more performance. The real benefit of the 277 AM over the 270 AM will be longer case life at top pressures and better brass quality. It will not have the ease of loading that the 270 AM has though. Both will be great rounds and both will say in the AM line up. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
