[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1664028, member: 12995"] Yep, same with the Ackley. Been told it sounds "deeper and meaner", was how it was described to me a few times. The first time I took it to the range, I fired a few rounds, and then one guy came over from the other side of the range, and said, "What in the hell is that!?!? That thing just sounds mean!" I said, it's a wildcat called the .300 Ackley, and I pulled out a loaded round with a 210 VLD in it seated way out there, and handed it to him, and he just stared at it in his hand for a minute or two. Then he looked up in shock :eek: when I told him it was a 1-mile hunting rifle. :D I was thinking to myself, "Dude, there's a lot bigger cartridges out there than this..." But he already seemed in shock, I didn't want to give him a coronary. Had the same thing happen another time when I was shooting my 7mm STW. The big magnums cartridges really tend to floor people when they see them for the first time. You'd think they've never seen anything larger than a .30-06. Haha [/QUOTE]
