[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 1401876, member: 68532"] Yep, definitely differences between the 2 rounds. However, the difference I was referring to was regarding performance on game. Like I said, I don't believe anyone (or animal) will notice the additional velocity of the Ackley. For most, there's just not enough upside to justify the hassle of owning one. You mentioned the upsides, but failed to mention the downsides. To name a few.. additional time required in fire forming brass, additional costs of bullets, powder, primers used for fire forming, increased cost for dies, additional barrel wear, difficult to re-sell, resale value, etc. For me, the big kicker is the time involved in fire forming. With kids, time is a pressure resource and I'd rather not waste my time fire forming. In the end, the OP has to decide if the upsides of owning an Ackley are worth it. Most shooters after also considering the downsides, realize it's not. [/QUOTE]
