It is also an Improved .300 WBY like the .30 Hart. The .300 Ackley is blown out w/ a 40° shoulder made off of the .300 WBY, .340 WBY or the .300 H&H case. There are a bunch of different variation of the Ackley. The Ackley I shoot was designed by Alvin Johnson. It is a Tight Neck minimum turn chamber using Norma .300 WBY cases. The neck is .334" w/ a loaded round measuring .332". I have a Broughton Williamsport Taper (1.25 for 6" - .950" @ 30") finished at 31" plus a L. Baity muzzle brake. It shoots a 210 gr. Berger VLD w/ 79.5 gr. RL25 at an average mv. of 3050 fps. The come-ups from the 100 yard zero to 1000 yard zero is approx. 22 – 24 MOA. This gun will consistently shoot 5 shots under 7.5" at 1000 yards. The best it has shot so far is 3.875" with 3 of the 5 measuring 1.111" The H2O capacity of the .300 WBY is approx. 97 gr.. My Ackley is 103 gr. IF your going to pick a cartridge for a custom it might as well be a winner. Check out the 1000 yard BR match reports on the International Benchrest Shooters Assn. web page or nc1000yrdshooters.com or you can go to Benchrest.com and do a search for the Ackley.
