If you shot a 260 before going to the ackley case you will appreciate the 40 degree shoulder and less case taper makes the case very stable way less brass flow only trimmed after 7 firings and that was to uniform to same length, now when I hammered a 260 cases grew like weeds and doughnuts started forming after 5 firings. Throat for more freebore and make use of your case volume. yes I'm bias toward the 260ai
