Somewhere back there I managed to grasp the theory and design principles associated with the AI. Did you ever have a quiet personal conversation with Ackley on the subject of his various "improvements"? There is more than one way to mess up a finely made rifle. I've never talked to Mr.Ackley but I've read both of his books. Have you done either? I also have been reloading for over 30 years and shoot through a chronograph when I develop all of my loads. I'll say this about your statement that "improved yields no results one way or another". You are wrong. Straightening the case walls and moving the shoulder angles from 28 degrees to 40 degrees allows the case to hold more powder. It's as simple as that. I can't believe I have to say this but... More powder means more velocity. I suggest that you stick with 22's and the old Ought Six.

More powder means more velocity. I suggest that you stick with 22's and the old Ought Six. There goes that trigger finger again - quick to call a guy "wrong" with no basis, and to suggest that he limit his shooting - that must take a powerful intellect. Quite a bit of blowing up there - but 30 years of "experience" and using a chronograph may not mean much, particularly when merely talking basics. Can reading Ackley's books mean much when the fellow seems unable to understand simple writing here. I never said that an AI yields no results one way or another. I said that applying that term "improved" yields no such result. Kindly re-read for comprehension. (No matter what "they" say, the term "improved" yields no result one way or the other - it is a label used by the designer.) I feel that the length or depth of my personal experience means little, or nothing, in these situations but - in direct answer to your inquiry - yes, I have done both.

I guess I'm just too stupid to understand the nuances of your version of the English language. And the fact that you are playing with words means little to me,just like you do. Carry on Einstein... Maybe Rick will proclaim you the Campfire Pros Laureate.

North Texas doesn't know what a bucces is. Yes it's a gas station/ Land may be in process of being bought on I35 E out in Cornith. May be built in 2 years or so. You guys just enjoy you lots of pumps and clean bathrooms.

Not a clue what a Buccess(sp?) is. Of course, I'm not a native Texican, either, so there's a lot of things about Texas I don't know. Is that a giant gas station with a demented, redneck beaver for a logo? If so, no, there's not one close, but there is one on the way from Houston to here, my daughter and SIL always stop there as a break for my grandson. Ed

That sounds great!!!! I may be working a deal on a Rem 722 in 257 Bob tomorrow. If it pans out, I'll bring it to Ed's! I'm sure going to miss meeting all of you next weekend. Mr. Kaywoodie, I was very fortunate to be able to purchase Mike Walker's personal 722 in 257 Roberts a few years ago. I sure need to shoot it to see what it will do.

Any last minute stuff we need, I can pick up along the way. I will be monitoring from a McDonald's with their free WiFi, during my Doctor and Wife ordered breaks. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Ed Buc-ee's is a chain of world class tourist's traps - most around Houston or on the way to Austin. They have the nicest restrooms of any gas station you'll ever see, and decent food. Usually carry some hunting accessories, too - feeders, camo clothing, Yeti coolers, etc. They also discourage large trucks, so you don't get lot lizards or livestock trucks, and the places are family friendly. The one you mention is near Madisonville, on I-45. I confess I haven't bought any beaver nuggets, though...

I expect over the years, there's been many a parent stumped by the question, "what's a Beaver Nugget?", after their child saw a Buc-ee's sign
