[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 1050575, member: 14209"] But there is the issue of COAL with a short action and the 6mm case. If He wanted to shoot Heavy VLD bullets (if the barrel could stabilize them) He would have to turn it into a single shot. However if he was going to just shoot the 55g bullets, It wouldn't matter. This is just a thought. He does have all the .243 Brass as well and 6mm Rem Brass is hard to come by. So a .243 AI would still seem a better option. If I recall Kirby Allen (I hope I'm getting this right) did a test on setting back and re-chambering barrels that had severe throat erosion and fire cracking. If I recall. He wasn't able to get the same amount of round count from the fresh chamber that he had gotten from the initial chamber. I don't recall all of the details, (and this was with one of his High performance Allen Magnums). But It may be a similar situation where a used worn barrel can be brought back to life (or rather second chance) by re-chambering. All things being equal, He can always cut a new Barrel and have the best for his rifle. I have 2 other Ackleys and they started out with new barrels. There was no issue on barrel round count etc.... My .243 AI came to me that way. I had no say in how it was made and had no idea as to the round count before the re-chambering or even after. I got it in a trade and it was my first experience with a Ackley cartridge. 15 years later and I'm in love with Ackley's cartridges still. I can definitely understand the appeal. I have learned a lot with them and am still learning from these cartridges as well as from you guys on this forum. Hope this is helpful Dan [/QUOTE]
