[QUOTE="pablo, post: 497560, member: 21067"] Eddie, I was wondering what you think can go wrong with Acleyized cartridges. I've owned and been playing with them for about 35 years and haven't experienced any trouble. I view their attributes like this. 1. These cartridges don't require length trimming as often as cases with less shoulder angle. 2. On many rounds their is a significant velocity gain going this route. The 257 Roberts AI is an obvious good example. 3. Load development is easy. After fireforming, I start with the max load for the standard case and work up from there. I've never had a problem, I'm sure someone will jump on me for posting this but , in my experience it works fine. 4. Proper Ackley chambers can have factory ammo fired in them in a pinch. This can't be said for most wildcats. 5. I may have missed something, if I did, tell us about it. [/QUOTE]
