[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 111850, member: 10"] [b]Re: 338 Allen Magnums first chuck hunt, a bit of success!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] SS7mm, Thanks for your kind words and more then anything your full support over the last +year. There are several on this board that have really helped me along and you all know who you are. Without the support of the best customers in the world, I could not afford to do this testing with the new Allen Magnums so this is only with the help of all of you as well. By brother will be keeping his Kahn for this season at least. Probably keep it forever to be honest. For 800 to 1500 yard shooting it is actually a more practical chambering then my 338 AM because of the longer barrel life. We will now be concentrating on the 1000 and 1500 yard clubs with the kahns but now my sights have shifted to +2500 yards with the 338 AM. I also need to stress that I fully realize that building a rifle to hold around 1 moa at this kind of range is one thing but to get lucky enough to have a bullet land on target at this range, especially a target of this size has alot of luck involved. It happened relatively quick and may never happen again. I realize this and appreciate this more then I can explain. If it never happens again, I will be very happy to have at least done it once. Like you said, doing it with one of my own rifles with one of my rounds...... hard to express how I feel right now. Very good for sure. Being a good shot is a nessesity but realizing that alot of luck is still involved is also a nessesity to not only keep you sane when the close misses keep piling up and also to keep you humble when a bullet happens to land where you aim. Today, the wind blew just right to put that bullet on the mark. I am thankful for that. Again, thanks for your kind words and support. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
