The 7×57mm Mauser Ackley Improved is an alternate version of the 7×57mm Mauser cartridge with 40 degree shoulder. This wildcat was designed to be easily made by rechambering existing firearms, and fire forming the ammunition to decrease body taper and increase shoulder angle, resulting in a higher case capacity with the trade-off of a smaller ...
In C.I.P. regulated countries every rifle cartridge combo has to be proofed at 125% of this maximum C.I.P. pressure to certify for sale to consumers. [3] This means that 7.92×57mm Mauser chambered arms in C.I.P. regulated countries are currently (2013) proof tested at 487.50 MPa (70,706 psi) PE piezo pressure.

Based on the .25-35 Winchester and similar to the .25/35 Ackley Improved. Can also be made by necking-down.30-30. P.O. Ackley calls it "efficient and surprising". Performance with a 87-grain (5.6 g) bullet is approximately 3,100 ft/s (940 m/s) and with a 100-grain (6.5 g) bullet is approximately 2,650 ft/s (810 m/s). [12]
In C.I.P. regulated countries every rifle cartridge combination has to be proofed at 125% of this maximum C.I.P. pressure to certify for sale to consumers. This means that 7×64mm Mauser chambered arms in C.I.P. regulated countries were, as of 2014, proof tested at 519.00 MPa (75,275 psi) PE piezo pressure.
P.O. Ackley was a notable gunsmith famous for developing wildcat cartridges from parent cartridges like the 30-06 Springfield. For many of the wildcats listed above, and several of standardized commercial chamberings based on the 30-06 cartridge, there are "Ackley Improved" versions with sharper shoulders increasing case capacity.

Due to the large case capacity in relation to the 7.62 mm (.308 inch) calibre bore size the round is harsh on barrels like other .300 Magnum cartridges. In an Austrian based online forum "Leuchtspur.eu" the inventor Michael Uekötter claimed he needed to replace his Krieger custom barrel after more than 4,000 shots with the 7.62 mm UKM. A lot ...
