Hi all,

just a couple of pictures of my Ackley semi custom rifle, built on a Sako 75 action wearing a MacMillian A5 stock

shoots like a dream with 100g Nosler ballistic tips at 3429 fps. The 5 shot group on the gong top right was shot at 300yds

hope you like

 

Chris

It's a great cartridge. I've thought more than once of trying it myself (for long-range target shooting not field use), but the lack of factory dies has deterred me to date. That's a damned fine 300 yard result for a tiddly little varmint bullet!

Hi Laurie the smith that built the rifle for me also did the Wilson neck die 290 tight neck then I bought a redding body die 40 deg all works a treat
