[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1402315, member: 2736"] In my opinion it is, not only because of the increase in distance and energy but sometimes the powder charge can be reduce to reach the same velocity of the parent case. I just recently chambered a 7/08 AI and tried my standard 7/08 load that produces 3010 ft/sec with a 120 grain bullet to fire form to the AI. The same load produced 3071 ft/sec in the AI chamber. So efficiency has a big part and is probably responsible for the increase. It also allows for the use of slower burning powder for longer barrels and even more velocity. I am not saying that every cartridge "Needs" to be Ackley Improved because there are different needs and rifle functions that the 40o shoulder could cause problems. It just another option.
