I think the biggest advantage to my ackley rifles is the fact others can,t shoot my ammo, but i can shoot theirs!

WranglerJohn,
How fast are you getting those TTSX's to go? Tried some in my standard Bob but not seeing the velocity yet.
Thanks! Just shy of 3,500 fps with 48.0 grains of H-380 in a 26" 1:10' Schneider barrel. Thing is, in my rifle they have to be seated exactly .050" off the lands, anything less or more opens groups way up. This is about as good as I can shoot these days with aging eyes. The diamond is .55" across the flats, a fouler and two blow-its but seven shots went through the group. Great bullet. Another good load is the 75 grain Hornady V-Max with 47.5 grains of H-380 and a Federal 215 GM primer 2.780" OAL at the same velocity (3,480). Tinkering with the primer type may improve the accuracy (.5") even further. I use the Ackley for case shape that reduces (nearly eliminates) case stretching, accuracy usually develops below the maximum possible velocity.

223AI because it works from p'dogs to whitetails.....and no case trimming. The tiny weak 223 is not humane nor even legal on deer for good reason. Reloaded brass needs to be trimmed from time to time. So called AI does little but pull the neck in shorter on fire form. If your just neck sizing with say a Lee collet die then ok. Otherwise sized brass stretches. Sweet Jesus, I bet you don't wipe your ass because of a bad experience with corn cobs in 1803. Dammit! I just spewed tea on the desk! I've played with K Hornet, 223AI, 22-250AI, Bob AI, 280AI, 338-06AI, and about to start with a 6mmAI. But since I have 4 of 'em, I'd say my fave's the 223. Pete

A .223 AI on deer? You must be kidding, thats way too much gun. Stick with the vanilla version...
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
