[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1329186, member: 20646"] Hello jseaman - Would you please help me understand the 338-378 Weatherby "Ackley Improved"? I'm not so well-versed on how this would 'look' or how it would actually be "Improved"... Were I to guess, I'd suspect that Mr. Ackley's improvement would include steeper-angled shoulders, ditch the dual-radius, and reduce the taper on the case body? Somewhere between the [B]338AX[/B] (Kirby's 338 Lapua Improved) and the[B] 338AM[/B] (408 Chey-Tac necked down and "Improved") would be just about perfect!!! Kirby did have the 338 Raptor, but the brass became non-existent so it had to be shelved.... THanks!!! [/QUOTE]
