[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 2032008, member: 18849"] Thinking the improved swede would be great also. Was shy to build one because of brass options. Although Lapua makes brass for it. You cant make it from any other caliber like x57 brass. Most of the 57 brass for my Ackleys was made from 06 & 270 brass. I also chambered several 257 Bob Ackleys. Most 7x57 brass and Roberts brass (when you could find it) would end up short or "real" short after fireforming to 40°. Thus making it from the longer stuff would always get you where you wanted to be with full length necks. Thats another diadvantage to the 260 A.I. where some short length brass would leave you with shorter necks than the already short 260 neck. The 40° Ackley is known for not growing much so they may end up short for life. [/QUOTE]
