[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 938935, member: 12995"] It uses .300 Wby brass to fire-form into .300 Ackley Magnum brass. Pretty simply really. It uses .300 Weatherby starting loads to work up your load for, so you atleast have a good starting point and reference charts to go by. You can use a .300 Wby neck-sizer die to resize the necks while your custom dies are being made. Unfortunately, the only drawbacks are 1) you will have to have custom dies made, and those can have a long wait time, and can be expensive, and 2) Actual load data isn't available, but since you can start out with .300 Wby load data, that helps to alleviate part of that issue. So, the only drawback is having to have custom dies made. But other than that, I think it's a great investment. I also use Nosler .300 Wby brass to form my .300 Ackley Mag brass. Just load up about 60gr of Reloder 19 and a cheap Nosler Custom Compeition 168gr bullet, seated to SAAMI spec, and shoot. Then out pops a fully-formed .300 Ackley brass. Here's a picture of a new .300 Wby brass (left) next to a fully-formed .300 Ackley brass (right).
