[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1917867, member: 94154"] BJAI = Bob Jourdan Ackley Improved, also known as the 6.5x55 40° Improved. I bought a 721 6.5 Swede that was bung'd up by the gunsmith I bought it from. [eta] He listed it as "leaving flute marks on the brass". I bought it for the price of action. On first firing, I got a face full of gas. I called him back to say it was more than flute-marks, it was unsafe. [/eta] He wouldn't take a return. So I had it Ackley'd by my gunsmith to try to recover what was left. Brass fireformed then neck sized in the 721 rifle won't fit my other 6.5 BJAI, a Savage conversion with a McGowen 1:8 barrel. [eta] When I picked it up from my gunsmith, he asked me, "Who is the smith who sold you this? I want to go to his shop and take away his tools." [/eta] [/QUOTE]
