257 Roberts Ackley

Well after 10 plus years not shooting the 257 Roberts Ackley in competition I have screwed a barrel into my AICS and have hit the long range comp again.

The outfit is a AICS with NXS 22x MLR - see the avatar. Barrel is 24 inches.

The load uses 100 grain Sierra MK for about 3300 from a 26 barrel. This combination loads from a 308 mag with no problems.

Accuracy has been good but not great. Looking at my notes it seems that it is still the cartridge I used over 10 years ago - good when you do not know any better but not up to a 284 Win.

Anyone else using the Roberts Ackley for target or tactical shooting?
