Yes to your initial question.
Here’s my perspective:
I’m not real old but I have more gray than brown now and I’ve have been doing this stuff a long time. After a project like this (which I’ve done a few times) the “buyers remorse” sets in a few months later when I realize that any game animal I’ve pursued wouldn’t have dropped any sooner with one cartridge vs another and the novelty of the project has worn off. By then I’ve typically found another project that interests me but the $$ I spent on the novelty is now gone. You see the trend.
Someone else mentioned buying better glass. I’d say in general spend it on quality anything before rechambering, glass only being one thought.
If $$ is no issue, go for it, but that’s not the case with most of us. I think you are wise to post your question before you plunge in. A wise man listens to counsel.
Another thought: if you have a high-end rifle with an Ackley chamber you can resell quite easily but it may be a problem with this particular make & model if you ever decide to try to sell it.
Wow. Way more lengthy than intended but there it is, for what it’s worth.
Good luck.
