You obviously have not read any of Acley's writing's. Cheers NC

It's not for the faint of heart, takes some effort.

You gotta be a hard core Loony... blush

Reportedly Roy Weatherby formed early .240 brass just that way. Of course, his new round had to have the signature belt to be a Wby...

If I was building one from scratch, I'd go 6-06, maybe now, a 6 PRC, not a .240 Wby. I traded for mine.

The 6 CM shooters seem to like that one. Those rounds I mention above are of the same or very similar powder capacity with the .240.

I wish my .240 was faster than 10 twist. If I built a big 6, it would be 7 or 8 twist. Mine won't shoot 105's, etc. Tops out with 100 gr. NPTs which it loves.
