For Archer's case, it'll be a little different. IF Shirou traced excalibur, he would have completely adapted Excalibur's memory and fight the way Saber did. However, since Archer has a lot of fighting experience himself, he will only partially adapt Saber's fighting style in his own fighting style.

Wonder's how many life will Archer cut if he traced the Excallibur and snipe it at Berserker as broken phantasm.
Unfortunately, a traced Excalibur will NOT harm Beserker. Note that even though God's Hand says it negates anything B and below, B+ is regarded as 'B'.

A "+" is just used to describe that the Noble Phantasm's power is amongst the top in its fellow ranking, but it is still a 'B' rank Noble Phantasm.

The ranking of Noble Phantasms is not done scientifically, so there is examples like 'An A rank noble phantasm needs at least power output of 1000 mana-particle-per-square-inch-prana-per-density-integrated'. In fact, a weapon that can't even destroy a building can be A ranked while another that can wipe out the entire Spanish Navy is still B ranked. (e.g. Caliburn and Bellemorph)

In the end he did a great job considering what he was up against.
