Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does Ackley improved mean?

smokepole - in all this smoke and mirrors setting did anyone actually answer the question " who is ACKLEY and why does he need IMPROVEMENT - has he been a naughty boy? " Homesteader

No one answered, not even the Grand Poobah himself.

I was thinking since it was Him, "Royal Pain" was something along the lines of being seated at the throne a day after some heavy cheese-eating.

It's means its better.
Like Wonder bread.
Like red M&M's.
Like adding salsa.

Bikini's were just a fad and really not needed:

I hate fads!

She should do away with hers.

If she was mine I would insist!

Wait a minute,

I've been under the impression that magic is real

Like WWF or Lucha Libre wrestling.

And real like that rabbit that will be coming around in a few days, you know, the one that lays colored eggs in baskets full of plastic grass. I think he craps black jelly beans too, good thing as I love them things.

PS, is there enough case taper in a 9.3x62 to make it worth doing an AI job on it?

PPS, that rabbit is a relatively new species in evolutionary terms, they didn't exist until about 2000 years or so ago. I think the jelly bean crapping is their newest adaptation to our ever changing world.

smokepole - must be a more difficult question to answer than first thought... Perhaps just more to it than shoulder angle etc.

I'd move and happily live in a grass hut.

I think it's the size of the charge that constitutes a "royal pain."

Well I started this thread, and you guys did not disappoint.

I recalled that earlier post on the subject and thought
it was a good time to revive.

My closest thing to these is 25-06 and a 250-3000.

Farmboy1 - "... and you guys did not disappoint.". Of course not...now you'll know who's awake out here and paying attention.
Maybe not a lot of attention BUT not yet zombie-fied either. Homesteader

I wouldn't say wildcat cartridges are a fad. A lot of stable, good, and fan favorites started life as a wildcat (22-250 my fav, 260 Rem, 338 Fed, 6.5-284). But I too am a conservative and try not to push the limits of a cartridge. Nothing against those that do. I/me/myself/personally, feel that if I have a question on whether or not a cartridge can take a game, I can always caliber up. Lucky, I've been wrong about what a caliber can do (on the good side). Still very impressed with what a 22-250 can do with a Barnes bullet on deer size game. The Elk? Well there are other options :-)
