Ackley Improved Cases

The standard Collet die for the parent cartridge should work, provided that the base to neck/shoulder intersection dimension has not changed.  Most Ackley Imp. cartridges have less body taper, and a steeper shoulder angle, but the distance from the base of the case to the neck/shoulder intersection is not changed.  There is enough clearance in the collet to accommodate the improved cartridge.
