[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1098102, member: 12995"] Easy answer to your question... The .300 Ackley Improved Magnum. 3,000 fps is easily attainable with 210-215gr bullets in a 26" barrel without killing brass, 40* Shoulder improves brass life through better cartridge design and cuts down on brass growth, and the main reason... It's just so much cooler to have a wildcat that your buddies have never seen before. Oh, and forgot to mention, that you form it out of regular old .300 Wby brass with no special prep work. You load up new .300 Wby brass with light loads (about 60gr of RL19 behind a CCI LR primer, and a cheap Nosler 168 Custom Comp or 168 Hornady Interlock), shoot, and out-pops .300 Ackley brass. :D [/QUOTE]
