This is my thinking for ackley cartridges also. If you want a 280ai why not just buy a 7mm mag. 25-05ai just buy a 257 weatherby. I personally think its for a good conversation piece at deer camp. What you shoot? Oh I shoot a 7AI with a flux capacitor shoulder on it. It gives me the same velocities as a 7mm rem but it takes me 32 more steps when reloading it.
That's Funny! I have 3 ackleys, And they are all high performance cartridges, but I have them strictly because they are a diffrent cartridge than what every one else has.... I've gotta have a hobby.
As for the .25-06, I think it's a cool cartridge. I had one once and wish I never sold it. It's best left for the deer and antelope at at ranges of 400yds or less.
