[QUOTE="bounty hunter 2, post: 1138630, member: 90711"] I am not up on what the Sherman design is but guessing it is on an improved 30/06 case. I like the long barrels in this type chambering because they extract every last fps possible from a non magnum case. They can at time seem cumbersome near the end of the day with many miles afoot behind you. I have just always felt that it made more sense to increase barrel length to achieve ballistic gain than to go to a magnum chambering. That way you get the magnum performance without the increased powder charge. More powder = more kick and shorter barrel life. The Ackley case is amazingly efficient and reduces case back thrust to the point where primer condition is not a reliable indicator of pressure. With the Ackley case if your using primer condition as your pressure indicator by the time you see a flattened primer you are already over the top in pressure assuming a dry chamber free of any lubricant.
