[QUOTE="Big Jake Duke, post: 462470, member: 29978"] For some reason the Ackley debate will never end. There are those who have built them recently and can't believe their good fortune, and those who still believe that the last word on cartridge design occurred 40 years ago. I wonder if you would want 1971 medicinal techniques operating on your brain tumor today? Times change/ systems change and the 25-06 Ackley is a monster with a 26" + barrel and less than 65 grains of powder. Some 257 weatherby loads are running 75 grains. You think there might be something to an extra 15% powder capacity? The weatherby doesn't ouperform the AI by 15%. So in closing- let the posts about ackley be reserved for those of us that want to use theirs more and develop other loads. If you hate them that much, Elmer Keith called and wants you back in the 35 whelan forum conversation. Hate to be snarky, but I want to learn about reloading this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
