[QUOTE="su37, post: 268707, member: 5541"] Accuracy stayed the same, I owe that to the "cut rifled" barrel by Marqaurt. I ended up turning the barrel down from .750 to .550 and cutting it to 24". It's throat is gone but darn if it still does not shoot accurate. My understanding is that with cut rifled barrels you can work on them after they are rifled with no stress added to the metal. Be it fluting or turning them down. I believe it. Outside of longer brass life the Ackley is not really needed. You can just load up a regular 280 Rem to higher pressures. [/QUOTE]
