[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 75969, member: 10"] Eaglet, I just received an e-mail that my order of Lapua 338 brass should be here tomorrow so I will be able to test some more with the 7mm Allen Mag. Next up is the 175 gr Sierra to see how she runs. Talked with Richard the other night and he said I sould be getting those big 200 gr ULDs here soon. I think I will have to load a few up with WC872 and shoot them over the chrony just to see what this 26.5" barrel will drive them to. I know they will probably key-hole on paper but they will let me know what velocity I will get. After seeing what the 160s did in this barrel length, I look to push 3200 fps even with this shorter barrel. I had a guy call me tonight wanting to know if I would take a Lilja barrel on trade. It was a 1-9 twist stainless 27" blank in 7mm. Only thing is that it was a VERY light #2 contour!!! I am thinking real hard about this barrel, a Rem 700 fully accurized receiver and a 20 oz McMillan Hunters Edge stock. Can you imagine 3550 fps with a 160 gr Accubond in a 7 lb rifle??!!! The good thing is that when you were hunting, if it took three shots to get your game, you would be ready to cook some fresh meat as the barrel would be smokin!!! I may have to try this, what do you think? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
