Cricker:
To answer your question, I think the 348 Ackley loaded with warm 250-270 gr bullets or Woodleigh/Swift/Alaska Bullet works bullets really
is a lever action 35 Whelen-which is hard to beat. Keep in mind that standard 348 WCF ammo can be shot in the Ackley chamber all day long.
The 450 Alaskan is nice to have along the SE AK brown bear trails or
fishing along bear streams. It is comforting to have along in any bear country.
