Hi,
Buddy inherited an original P.O Ackley smithed 270 Ackley Magnum. Complete with his dad's correspondence with Ackley himself. Very cool old rifle.
He asked me about reduced loads for it. He's got the original Ackley #1 manual with that data.
I went on Load Data and found some loads, not quite what he's looking for.
He's looking for any additional load data he can come up with, especially load data that isn't quite as vigorous as Ackley's original data.
We know about the Trailboss option, I called and asked Hodgdon about using the H4895 60% rule for reduced loads with the IMR-4895 data I have and received a firm NO to that notion.
They have no tested data for this cartridge either, nor any suggestions.
HELP!
