I actually learned to reload here and on the old Shooters forum. I had no body to show me and between manuals and good advice here it has been good. It has had the effect of causing me to screw a couple of aftermarket barrels on rifles that shot pretty good. I don't regret either one. miles

Ackley is God! Take the most mundane cartridge, blow out the shoulder and case body just a bit and it automaticly becomes the wonder of the world.
Besides that it causes you to diddle around with a cartridge getting 100 more fps when you could just buy a bigger one if that is what you want.

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. miles

That fireforming brass for an Ackley chamber is as troublesome as rebuilding a transmission for some.

A 270 isn't enough gun for elk, unfortunately no one's told the elk yet ...

If it ain't a Leupold is ain't worth having. If it's a Leupold it ain't worth having. We have an actual need for a scope that enables you to pick off Aborigine midgets on the dark side of the Moon on a moonless night even when hunting regs limit you to 1/2 hour before sunrise and 1/2 hour after sunset. You learned I can't shoot worth schitt!

I forgot to say we all need/must have a super duper premium bullet to kill a deer reliably at ranges under 10 yards. That said I have really learned a great deal of useful things. The claims Les is actually Satan himself is not not true even if Sassy sez so.

The .260 Remington is neither fish nor fowl: too much for varmints, too little for all else. Choose a .243 or a .270, and you'll be far happier. It's no wonder the Remington is letting this cartridge die on the vine.
Accordingly, any rifle chambered in .260 Remington that you see posted in the Free Classifieds forum will sell in 13 minutes or less.
Perhaps the appropriate syllogism would be, "The .260 Remington cartridge is to rifles, what the 3x straight-tubed Leupold is to hunting optics."

......For under a grand, the factories should give us rifles that are cosmetically like a Jerry Fisher rifle,and shoot like a benchrest class rifle....to 1000 yards....with hunting bullets..
Now that I I have no problems with!

I have both, and the .260 is on a Rem 725 SA. Maybe I should mate them??? I learned African game is tougher to kill than NA game, with parts in different places, according to those who have hunted both. I haven't, so I'll take their word.

I have learned to bite my tongue (or least my typing fingers) on occasion.
I have learned that there are certain magic bullets and cartridges that drop big game animals instantly. The poster knows this because he's done it twice.
I have also learned that big game animals have both front and rear shoulders, though very few hunters talk about shooting them in the rear shoulders--except for a few who seem to be really fond of the practice.

I have learned that there's no difference between a moot point and a mute point. Also, the words loose and lose can be used interchangeably. So their! Awl is not lost.

I have learned that McMillan is a terrible company because they got one guy's order wrong; that Winchester lived, died, arose again, died, and still will never be as good as it was pre-64; and that the answer to all questions gun-related is: "1911-CRF-Mickey-Leupy-Sucks."

Winchester did indeed make a 375 H&H in South Carolina.........
