[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 439391, member: 46"] Agreed with Derek--apologies for "ASSuming" that you were about to commit a horrible atrocity, but you left us with no background to your situation and rifle. I was in your boat about 10yrs ago, wanting more horsepower out of my .30-06 and thinking that having the Ackley was the best way to go, but then I realized that it did nothing more for my MPBR, barely affected maximum extended range, and brought forth new headaches such as fireforming brass. My advice, now knowing the history of the rifle, is to get a new barrel, 24 or 26 inches, load up some 180gr Accubonds, or shoot the new Hornady Superformance out of it. They're introducing the Interbond for 2011 loadings, and in 30-06 the 180 at ~2850-2900 would be a terrific load for it methinks. No fireforming cases, and the desired velocities. I don't believe you would get the necessary velocity out of the 200gr Accubond for reliable expansion--just too heavy. Good luck, keep us posted, and show pics when you're done! [/QUOTE]
