Gunsmith W. Smith K.C.MO.
Anybody ever hear of the name,i think its a older build with a 1903 Springfield action,large bench rest type stock and a heavy barrel marked 22-250 with W.Smith K.C. MO. It has scope mounts on barrel and spaced so that i think it had to be a long scope.Its been a long time since i shot it but i remember that it shot a very tight group but i had to just use the same brass for reloading and could not use the brass for my other 22-250's as the shoulder looked to be a little different angle. Any ideas on that that ?

Different shoulder angle...Ackley Improved perhaps? 0 -
Thanks! I bet it's a Ackley improved then because of the shoulder angle. I can shoot the reloads that i use in my other 22-250's in it but once i do then resize and reload i cant get them to chamber in any other rifle other than the Smith. I have not shot it in years and i guess i just dont want to haul that heavy thing around and worry about keeping ammo straight.Was the Ackley improved better and how ? 0 -
Ackley Improved got a bit more hustle out of a bullet. Some chamberings more so than others. 0 -
Are your reloading dies marked AI?
Ackley increased the shoulder angle from 28 to 40 degrees, and blew the case wall out straight for more case capacity.
Like HPD said, some had dramatic improvement on ballistics, others didn't really gain that much.

No they are not.I wish that they would have marked the barrel AI,i would have still bought it not knowing what i know now.Now i would have let it go as i dont like the problem with keeping the ammo separate. Live and learn as my Dad would say.quote:Originally posted by TRAP55
