[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1160985, member: 12995"] I have a .300 Ackley, which is essentially the same thing as the .30 Hart that you described using. I have not shot any game with it yet, but target shooting it is an excellent caliber. If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to go for something other than the .30 Hart, if you already have experience with it? Was it just the fire-forming and brass availability, or were there other factors? The .30 Hart should be very similar to my .300 Ackley. And if that is the case, they are so close to the .300 Wby case dimensions that you can get extremely accurate fire-forming loads, since they initially headspace off the belt... I know mine were very accurate, and I wasn't even shooting full-power loads. I would venture to say that .300 Wby brass might be easier to come by than .300 RUM or .338 Lapua. It is definitely much cheaper.
