Do you shoot an Ackley Improved round? Which one?

[devildoc]

I'll have a 6.5-06AI ready to shoot here in the next couple months. Can't wait to give you a report.

No, you can turn just about any cartridge to Ackley improved. As long as it had less than a 40 degree shoulder to start with, you just rechamber with a 40 degree shoulder and it becomes Ackley Improved. The funniest Ackley has got to be the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer (.22-378AI ).

I have a 243 AI and am shooting 105gr Amax's with great results out to 600. I had 308Nate put one of his brakes on it and now can watch my hits even up close.

I don't own one, however, my friend owns one and he loves it. He has a 6mmAI, Nesika Model K Action, 30" 1-12 Twist Krieger, Jewel trigger, ect. He pushes 70grn Ballistic Tip bullets at 3900fps. It is deadly accurate on Pdogs and Squirrels out to 800 yards.

The only AI I own is a 6mm. Its built on a Rem 788, Straight 1.20 x 26" w/a 14 twist, canjar trigger and a Mc Millan benchrest stock. This gun only likes flat base bullets with the exception of Nos BT's. The best performer is a Hor 70gr SP makes one tiny hole. 70gr BT's also make one hole.

It will even shoot heavier flat base bullets suprisingly well 85gr Sierra SP and 87gr Hor SP. I tried a 95gr BT but it wouldn't stabilize.

This is the most accurate gun I have had to date. Varmint's don't stand a chance.

I am reallly new to this and really don't understand the whole ackley thing. Do you have to rechamber your rifle or can you shoot them in a regular gun..

 

[Captn C]

Yes you have to ream the chamber out...they have straight wall and 40 degree shoulders. The nice thing is you can use the original barrel if you stay with original caliber. I think most don't because stock barrel length is too short to start with in most calibers.

 

[Sendero_Man]

22-378 Weatherby and 223, 22 long range, 22 pellet.
