[QUOTE="Wild Monkey, post: 2870455, member: 103097"] Folks are having a mental block with the entire Ackley Improved thing, RCBS did have one or more 30 degree shoulder dies they used to sell. Remember, Otto's 1st wildcat was in fact a 28 Degree shoulder, not a 40, and he made a two separate short magnum wildcats with 25 degree shoulders I believe. This should help many understand. Otto is famous for "improving" narrow factory chamberings by converting them to 40 degree shoulders, but he did many different designs. It's unfortunate for everyone involved to think only "Ackley Improved" 40 degree cartridges exist and anything else is not worthy or worth pursuing or whatever. In fact it's happened far more that most realize a new cartridge was designed with a 30 degree shoulder for instance and manufacturers changed it and instead used the same old shoulder like in the case of the 243. Can you imagine? the Creedmoor would never have seen the light of day if the 243 were produced with the 30 degree shoulder from the start. None of this has anything to do with the initial topic, but to have to sit here and defend a cartridge because it's not an Ackley or the latest and greatest PRC is Preposterous. [/QUOTE]
