[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 179162, member: 313"] An Ackley conversion wouldn't do anything to lengthen the chamber and isn't done too often on Encore barrels because you can't turn the barrel in a thread as is normally done with bolt guns when a barrel is rechambered to the Ackley version. I would assume that the barrel could be rechambered to 280 Rem or 284 Win which should resolve the problem and maybe add some horsepower at the same time. One of the smiths will have to jump in here.
