[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 924782, member: 69478"] What Mud said is a very good idea. He could get a new barrel with an Ackley chamber for a popular cartridge like a .270 Winchester, .280 Remington, or even the old .30-06, have the barrel cut at 26" with a medium sized contour like a #4. Shoot good factory rounds that are loaded with good bullets like SSTs, Accubonds, Bergers, A-MAXs, or anything that is a good popular long range slug and he would save money by killing two birds with one stone. Not only would he be hunting and getting good practice with the factory cartridges, he would be making Ackley brass. The rifle would most likely be around 1 MOA with the factory rounds and be sub MOA with the reloaded Ackley brass. These three cartridges are also easy on barrels and very popular so they would be great for starting into long range. Then again, choosing to go with one of these standard rounds that isn't Ackley Improved would also be great, only lose 100+- fps from the Ackley. [/QUOTE]
