[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 402776, member: 3745"] LTLR, It looks like you are getting pretty much the same velocities with your 338/378 as I do from my Kahn. I am not surprised. With some careful loading the Kahn may shoot a little faster than the 338/378 but not much. Kirby kind of talked me into the Kahn when I had a poor performing stock 338/378 re barreled. I am not sorry he did, but the gains are minimal. I was shooting 200, and 210 bullets before and moved up to 250s and 300s afterwards, so I never really did an apples to apples comparison, but have always suspected the 338/378 would run just about as fast with the bullets/loads/barrel length, etc. Chas1, I just sent my Kahn that is barreled on the Nesika action in to Kirby for a new barrel. I had a little over 1500 rounds through it. Accuracy was still great, but the borescope was showing significant erosion. It is my favorite hunting rifle, so I decided to get it done during the offseason rather than waiting until the accuracy went to pot....... [/QUOTE]
