[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 388826, member: 15748"] Tysn, Take it easy with the Ackley data if BountyHunter can scan it for you. Parker Ackley was an innovator, a fine gunsmith and a prolific writer, but he wasn't bashful about tipping the powder. You'll find many of his loads to be, shall we say, REAL HOT! Back them off at least 10% to start, and work up slowly from there. Keep an eye on the pressure signs, and act accordingly. I think the Ackley books, Vol. I & II, are still available. Seems to me that Precision Shooting did a reprinting of these some time back, and you may still be able to find them. Great reference books, fascinating info from start to finish, but just be careful with his load data. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
