[QUOTE="gunsmith, post: 719839, member: 53434"] Yes, the Parker Omar Ackley Improved .30-'06 averages about 200 feet per second faster than the standard round. You do have to have the barrel cut, and fire-form your brass, but some brass used to be available, as the AI .30-'06 was one of the more popular Ackleys, and he made barrels for perhaps 50 years. Slightly flatter shooting, slightly more range, is it worth the effort? Quite a lot of people thought so. Then the .270 came along and did the same thing - 200 fps faster than the standard '06. An Ackley Improved Winchester .270 goes about 400 fps faster than the '06, somewhat significant. Flatter shooting yet, a little more range yet. That would make a nice Pronghorn / mountain goat / deer / black bear rifle. But now there are new rounds doing that. The 6.5-.284 Norma is now standardized, one of the most accurate rounds in the world, and can be made to perform even higher. Still, I'd be happy to get the .270 AI, or the .30-'06, especially if they shot tight groups. [/QUOTE]
