[QUOTE="alremkin, post: 57599, member: 3345"] Ah ok, a picture is worth a thousand words. I notice you neck turn your cases. Do you use a Forester neck turner? Last time I was shooting I bought bought a Forester neck turning machine, but quit shooting before I used it. Are your rifles single shots? I understand that the single shot is prefered for target shooting becasue the action is stiffer and more solid. I see the case necks were shortened by pushing forward the case shoulder on your Kahn. Originally I thought about having a gun made based on the 338 A-Square Excalibur, but those cases are extremely exspensive about 3x the cost of Weatherby 338/378 cases. Is this the main reason no one uses the 338 Excalibur? Your Kahn seems to approximate it's case capacity. By the way I was mildly shocked at the cost of 338/378 brass here in Canada $62/box of 20, the cheapest I've been able to find here. I tried Midlway in the states, but despite NFTA they don't ship to Canada. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Their cost would have been about $40/box of 20 in Canadian$.
