250 savage ackley m77 help

I have a M77 ruger tang saftey, that is chambered in 250 savage ackley. My question is when I bought this rifle I was told it was chambered pike that from ruger. Did Ruger actually chamer this caliber

The only Ackley chambering that i know of that has been "standardized" is the 280AI.
