[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1674392, member: 109113"] Yes, a few other guys have suggested this, and I'll jump on the bandwagon as well. I've had one for about 25 years, and it's a great cartridge. If the builder doesn't set it up right, though, it can be a real pain in the neck. When it's done the way Ackley describes it, it works like a charm - just drop in a regular 30-06 cartridge ( factory or handload ) and on the first firing you'll get 308 Winchester-like velocity. After the fire-forming & reloading, performance is a little beyond the halfway point between the standard 30-06 and the 300 magnums. There will be less recoil and noise - mostly due to lighter powder charges. Cartridges feed nicely from the magazine, without any work on the magazine or feed rails. Done correctly, this conversion really is what it is said to be. [/QUOTE]
