[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 75198, member: 10"] Michael, First off welcome to LRH!!! The 338 Kahn is simply a 338-378 Wby with a conventional 35 degree shoulder instead of the double radiused Wby shoulder. The shoulder is also slightly moved forward to allow the factory 338-378 brass to chamber easily for fireforming which is done with any starting load for the 338-378. I say starting load because the throat length on my reamer is set up quite short but I have a custom throater to length the throat to any bullet you want to use. Capacity is roughly 6 to 8 grains more then the parent case. Accuracy is great with this round holding groups in the 1/2 to 3/4 moa range out to one mile in a heavy rifle using the 300 gr bullets. IT takes no modifications to the receiver to convert to the Kahn and Redding makes the dies for them and actually had the last three Full Length sizing dies in stock ready to ship on order if you can believe it!! Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
