[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 1815139, member: 10540"] I have experience with one 6.5-06 Ackley. It was a24 inch 8 twist shillen barrel on a sako action, purchased by my buddy from this forum. Nice handling rifle, sub MOA with the 140Amax, and everything we shot with it died the same way, hunched up, then face planted dead in the dirt right on the spot, from under 100 and out just over 400 yards. The powder was RL22, and as I recall the rifle was throated long. I did some of the load development, and it struck me odd that it took a bit more powder to achieve the 6.5-06 book velocity, maybe slightly more but certainly not 3000 in that particular rifle. It didn't seem like it gained much if anything from the Ackley chamber and long throat, but maybe we missed something... [/QUOTE]
