[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1290375, member: 2736"] The 30 Ackley #1 is considered a "Short mag" because it can be chambered in a 30/06 barrel by setting the barrel back one thread to get a new chamber. It has the powder capacity of less than 70 Grains of powder. The 30 Ackley #2 is a little longer than the #1 and can chambered in a 30/06 barrel without setting the barrel back. It has a case capacity of just over 72 grains. The 300 Ackley improved (Some call it the #3)Is the same as the 300 Weatherby mag with only Minor changes to the case. The Shoulder angle is 40o and case life is better than the 300 Weatherby Mag. Loading data is the same as the 300 Weatherby with a case capacity of 85 to 86 grains of powder. The 308 Norma Mag, and the 30/338 are in reality the same with the same loading data. Although They should not be fired in each others chambers because of the difference in case shape. The 30 Ackley #2 Is also very close to these cartridges. Hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
