aquired a .270 ackley improved with 24" douglass barrel. loading info would be appreciated. have rl 22, h4831, imr 4831,imr 4350, h1000 on hand. should I use magnum primers since increased powder charge?

130gr. bullet
59gr. / 4350 @ 3200
60gr. / 4831 @ 3080
65gr. / 4831 @ 3390

150gr. bullet
56gr. / 4350 @ 2950
58gr. / 4350 @ 3030
62gr. / 4831 @ 3150

all powders are from IMR, and most are max loads. Ackley says there is little improvment in velocity to be gained as the case is already overbore.

looking at the numbers you have posted it appears that the 270 Ackley will have an increase in velocity of a little over 9% on the 130 gr from accepted levels (Normal max 3100fps) and just under 9% for the 150's. (Normal max 2900fps.)

Thanks for the info.
