I am going to convert my 30-06 Rem 700 to an Ackley Improved. I see that dies are kinda limited as to what's available. I was wondering of I could use my 30-06 Springfield Lee Collet die for the Ackley and maybe my Forster Bench Rest Seater as well? | ||

For the '06 AI, I'd use the Redding full sizer die and have your Forester bench-rest seater die reamed out with the 'O6 AI reamer by your gunsmith, when he makes your '06 AI. That's what I did, and all works very well. Regards, NW | |||

Steve i don't know why you think that 06 Improved dies are hard to come by since Midway sells at least two brands. But, Ackley Improved User's recommendation is a good one provided your gunsmith does not charge you more than the price of a new seater die. Ray Arizona Mountains | |||

Hey Steve The Lee website says you can, click on "Dies and Die Questions" and then on "Ackley Improved". I use a 280 rem Lee Collet for my 280AI and it works great. ____________________________________ There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency - and a vice. - Mark Twain | Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others. ___________________________________ | |||

I guess it is because all of the die sets I have seen are just the plain old standard dies. I am a big fan of Forster Bench Rest Dies, the Lee Collet Dies and the Redding Type S Bushing Dies. None of these are available in the Ackley. | |||
