[QUOTE="Big Jake Duke, post: 462856, member: 29978"] BuffaloBob My point is that the Weatherby is a different beast from the Ackley because of the massive amount of powder you can stack behind a .257. If that is what you want then do it and enjoy it. It doesn't mean the improved cartridge is crap. For what it is, I like and respect the Ackley. It improves the performance of the standard, may not be as fast as the full blown magnum, but you can't expect it to be with such a massive inequality in powder capacity. I wouldn't expect a .300 Jarret to keep up with a 30-378 either, or a 6mmbr to keep pace with the 243 Weatherby mag. That doesn't make them dogs- just different capabilities. Were you the one that hit the antelope over 1,000 yards with a 257 w? [/QUOTE]
