I had a 450 Ackley built on a Remington 30 S action in 1974. P.O. Ackley did the barreling and chambering for me and the stock was done by Gary Goudy. This was a beautiful rifle and it shot like a house a fire! I eventually traded this rifle to a friend for a couple of Brevex magnum actions. The friend still owns this rifle and I looked at it last month.

This is a good cartridge made by necking up 375 H&H brass. It is easy to load and will accept a variety of powders and bullets. When it is loaded with 500 grain slugs to maximum powder levels, it is a real killer! This round has a lot of " horse power " and of course this is followed by fairly stiff recoil. The recoil is not unacceptable but you must live with the fact that it will definitely kick! That said, A Square designed his stocks to help absorb a good deal of recoil. They are not pretty in my opinion but they are very functional and do diminish the recoil.

If you can get a good deal on the gun and you like it, buy it.

Good Luck,

David
