[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1630571, member: 109113"] Yes, the .280 Ackley is a very fine round. Mine is the standard .280, but I do have a 30-06 Ackley Improved. It is a great round. It was a major-league pain in the keester for me to get the bugs ironed out of ( mostly because I was a total amateur as a handloader ) but it now shoots great and is a real KILLER. It also really forced the learning curve for me as a handloader, so I owe it a lot. The Ackley-type cartridges are very interesting, as are the Sherman designs. ( I became aware of these from reading this forum.) These wildcatters have forced the hand of the big manufacturers, and that is why we have so many really neat factory cartridges coming out all the time - they're trying to keep up with the wildcatters. This is all good stuff. [/QUOTE]
