6.5X06 ackely and 7mm-08 ackely

[Yeah]

I have several of the latter, have never done the former. Once built a 6-06 AI but the relationship soured and we parted ways.

For the 7-08AI I'd look to Reloader 17 and 162 Amax for full house loads and FF both . Trim a given lot of cases all to the same length after FF.

27" is way lotta barrel for a 7-08AI.

Did you go with the AI in 7-08 to improve case life? Improving that family of cartridge really doesn't gain you much otherwise.

 

[Yeah]

What happened to the original first post?

As far as improving case life: it doesn't. AIing does nearly eliminate trimming.

I can't know what you mean by 'family'. .308 Win based? Regardless, what gains does AIing that 'family' produce?
