[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1607936, member: 69192"] I posted this in a previous reply to you. When someone mentions Weatherby, everyone knows that it is high-speed, and the shoulder has a radius, and guaranteed accuracy. Then we have the Sherman line of ammunition, again we know that the cartridge is designed to use long, high BC bullets at high speeds. We have the entire line of Ackley Improved cartridges, shorter necks, less case angle and a 40 degree shoulder from a parent case. I've read a similar thread that you have posted in reference to another cartridge that you have designed and were looking for a name of that particular cartridge. I'm not familiar with the line of cartridges that you are designing, as I am pretty much old school when talking cartridges. When I first read your posting I said what's wrong with the 25-06 or even the .270 Winchester to achieve these velocities. Now after reading a thread or two, when I read/hear Blackjack I already know that we are talking about a cartridge designed for long-range hunting or shooting. I STRONGLY suggest that you name all of your line of cartridges with your manufacturing name of BLACKJACK. It's confusing enough to keep track of all the cartridges now, please do not add to the confusion. The type of confusion I am writing about is what Nosler did with the .280 Ackley Improved SAAMI vs the .280 Ackley Improved wildcat! For me personally it took a lot of research and reading good information and [U][I]"mis-information"[/I][/U] to decipher the differences between the two cartridges. [/QUOTE]
