If you read the Ackley Handbooks you will find that Mr. Ackley was absolutely honest in is opinions on his many improved cartridges, or wildcat cartidges. If a cartridge did not show improvement, or little improvement, he said so. If it did gain in velocity to his satisfaction, he also noted that. P.O. Ackley was not an uneducated gunsmith. His knowledge of firearms, and all things related IMHO will probably never be duplicated again. Get his books and read them to get the full story.
