[QUOTE="LB, post: 12396, member: 2721"] Only under conditions. I would never shorten a factory barrel that has an acceptable level of performance; accuracy wise, to punch it to Improved; for what purpose? And, chances are it will be at least ½ to a full inch shorter. There goes half of your "improvement, right there. I believe when the time is right to rebarrel, (when your barrel is toast) that's the best time to consider a double upgrade. This chambering requires at least 26 iches and why waste the money on converting a factory barrel, that has already degraded, and lose your best accuracy after the conversion? Makes no sense, to me, from an economy perspective. Is the Ackley a better performing cartridge? Yes. Advances in propellents would chance P.O.'s published opinion, I'm pretty sure? The first one I owned was made by him; wish I still had it. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
