One thing it does mean for folks that deal with buying and selling guns is a pretty good devaluation in your rifle when it comes time to sell or trade it. 


When one of the Ackley improved guns would come into the store it was much harder to sell than a standard chambered rifle.  This means that I devalued it a bunch on a trade or when buying it.


You may gain some velocity, but at the expense of having to spend money on dies and chambering.  Unless you plan to keep that gun for a long time your not only going to loose money in the work done on it and the cost of specialty dies, but most dealers simply don't want one on their shelves because they are extremely hard to sell.


If you want more velocity my suggestion would be to simply move up to a bigger case in the same caliber than rechamber to a non-standard cartridge.


OK guys don't jump all over me now, cause there are two sides to every story.
