Boggy, you forgot the best part about an "Ackley". It allows you to rip off your buddy's brass. Say you have a 7mm08 Ackley and your buddy has a 7mm08, you tell him "let me try some of your bullets" and after you shoot them they are fire formed to 7mm08 Ackley and he can't use the brass so it is yours. Your bullets will not go in his rifle, so he can't bum off you. Win-Win, but they sometimes get pissey about it. grin miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
