Since I handload....I think I'd be better off to buy a gun in an Ackley Improved chambering, at least then I could fire the more popular catridge through it. They've just taken the AI theory exaggerated it and put in in commercial offerings. The shorter action I don't feel are enough of a benefit to keep them alive in the long run. Of course, I'm the guy who thinks that all the needed cartridges have been invented and reinvented at least twice already. Guys would be better off handloading for their specific rifle and keeping themselves vaccinated against magnumistis.
