[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 402473, member: 3745"] I have two 338 Kahn's, one built on a WBY action with a 27" Lilja barrel, the other on a Nesika action with a 30" Lilja. Kirby (Fiftydriver) built both. Both will easily shoot 1/2 moa. As others have said, the Kahn is 338-378 with a 35 degree shoulder, about 10% more case capacity. I can run 250grn SMKs to 3350 and 300 SMKs to 3150 - 3200 fps. Neither rifle has the WBY freebore. I like the Kahn as it is probably the fastest thing out there without going to 338/408, better known as the 338 Allen mag, although the Lapua improved is not far behind. Your question was about accuracy..... yes you can get great accuracy from the 338/378 or Kahn....... but you can from all the other big 338s as well. All those other options in 338 are great too..... EDGE, RUM, Lapua, etc. So many choices, have fun deciding! [/QUOTE]
