[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 974021, member: 12995"] Since you like your .300 Wby, look into the .300 Ackley. It's an improved version of your .300 Wby. Uses .300 Wby brass. And you can even use a .300 Wby neck-sizer die to reload until your custom dies get to you. Unless your smith has a carbide reamer, in which case he can open up all your dies to .300 Ackley. You won't gain much for velocity, but the 40* shoulder keeps the brass from growing so rapidly, and IMO, the rectangular shoulder is more accurate than the radiused shoulder of the Wby, even though they space off the belt. I just feel the rectangular shoulder fits in the chamber a little bit more snug and precise. But that's just my thoughts, I'm no expert. Also, a 28" Sendero contour barrel would be perfect for the .300 Wby or .300 Ackley. I would get a 1:10 twist, that way you are good all the way up to 230gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
