[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 420209, member: 19129"] Off topic sort of but along the same lines: i understand the mechanics of seating bullets out to the lands to hold the head firmly against the bolt face to properly fireform the case, but why have I heard that one of the benefits of the Ackley cartridges is the ability to fire factory ammo when in a pinch and end up with a fire formed case? Is this a fallacy or are all the Ackley reamers designed with the ideal throat to have factory ammo touch the lands? I don't see how that could possibly be considering all the bullet designs that were in use with factory ammo when Ackley was designing his cartridges let alone now. [/QUOTE]
