[QUOTE="LR3, post: 696083, member: 15336"] Kirby and Joel. Given the above discussion I would appreciate some advice. My problem is I love shooting my 375 Allen Magnum and now I ve put about 500 rounds through it it and shooting out to 2400 yards it does great. If anything its getting more accurate but that may be I m shooting it better.
