Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ackley Improved = Ain't Improved

The .30 Gibbs was my favorite cartridge for over 20 years.
Many elk, a couple of Shiraz moose, a mountain goat, and a couple of Alaskan caribou found their way into my freezers because of that cartridge.

The gunsmith that chambered my .30 Gibbs used an Ackley reamer and cut it in to the Gibbs depth.
