It seems unfortunate that we can't get the last "word" on this subject.

But the Ackley rule applies to all three of those cartridges.The .280 AI is an excellent choice lending approx 100 FPS over the .280 or the .270.
Neither of which would be quite the same without its mother, the 06.
Neither the .270 (which old jack later admitted he was paid handsomely to fib about) nor the .280 AI or it's sibling do what the 06 does from lighter weight to upper weight bullets across the board.
This has been beaten to death by far more experienced shooter/reloaders than I, and the verdict was long ago reached.
From 55 grain to 220 there has never been a more versatile cartridge designed.
Hmmm
My decision to change my 06 to an Ackley Improved has nothing to do with practicality, it just sounds fun.
Jamie stated what I've heard before, the AO versions will usually shoot a bullet at the same speed the non-improved version will shoot the next step lighter bullet.
I know what I can get out of the 180gr with the 06. If I can bump that 200 fps more I will be thrilled.
The 0-6 Ackley with 180s is pretty damned impressive from what I've seen. The one my bud has, has a long throat so he loads round's COAL to mag length, and gains powder room with slow powder without excessive pressures.My decision to change my 06 to an Ackley Improved has nothing to do with practicality, it just sounds fun.

The day I decide to get/build a new rifle, that will be the chambering.I have a 338-06 which is the exception.
people talk about being able to shoot all these different loads how many of those shoot to the same point of impact. Seems to me that each time you change bullet weights you get to site in all over again. i have always believed in one load per rifle. Makes life easier shooting is suppose to be fun.
Vety nice i use primarily hornady 165 interlok bullets for huntong and have found that 168 gr match bullets shoot to the same point imside 300 yards. I dont hardly use my 30-06 as it is.I have nine different .30-06's, so no need to resight in, just switch guns. New York reload...
I want SPEED, Damn it! RL22 has been the king for that. I did buy a couple of pounds of H4831 and have some RL19 left over so I do have something to play with. I'll be working with 180 and 200gr bullets. At least that's where I'll start.I mostly use IMR4064 behind 168gr.
