[QUOTE="alremkin, post: 57459, member: 3345"] Hm, ok I'd heard of the 300 gr Sierra at Lilja's site, but dismissed them thinking they were hollow points and would explode at close range, under 500 yards. Looking at his data now which says I could get 3100 fps with the 250 gr and 2900 + with the 300 gr, makes me think I'll have to try the 300 gr too. They wern't in existence the last time I did load developement for my 338 Win Mag. If your rifles can produce that kind of accuracy they're certainly worth that money. With a little luck maybe someday I'll have one of your rifles. Is the Kahn made only in single shots? I wonder because the recoil of these rifles might unseat the bullets in the magazine and looking at the 378 case the only way I can see to improve it would be to shorten the case neck. It would be interesting to hear how you improved the 378 case. For now my interest is for a long range hunting rifle. I can see my spare time and money will be tied up likely for the next couple of years getting my Accumark up to speed and fully equiped. Do you have any advice as to what primers, powder and brass to use with either the 250 or 300 grainers? I intend to start with Federal primers and get some Weaterhby/Norma brass and try my existing supply of H-870. [/QUOTE]
