[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 281369, member: 306"] Most Ackley chamber rifles if done right (headspace) you should be able to fire the parent case as most use that method to form cases. Problems happen when gunsmith doesn't set barrel back to rechamber to Ackley. Reloading for the Ackley is pretty simple. Start with known data for the parent caliber you will need to know how to measure CHE most likely you will go over max loads alot of that will depend on how chamber is cut/throated/twist and barrel length good example my 243AI with 80gr bullets @ 3700fps plus. I've got 8 Ackley chamber rifles and I've never purchased a reamer. If you did something the gunsmith doesn't have a reamer for you will have to buy the reamer if it's a caliber he may use then may split cost with you. Dies can cost extra but that alot of things that your gunsmith can answer. I've always started with new barrels as to rechamber and existing one as I much prefer to pick what may work better with gunsmith help. [/QUOTE]
