    My PO Ackley books might have data, but I'm in the hospital for a while. I had a 300 Gibbs made on an O3A3 re-heat treatment mid numbers range. Likely in the top 5 rifles I ever owned.

    I shot full cases of H4831 under 165 - 173 BT in fire formed 57NM brass.

    use 280 ackley load data, and work up from there. The Gibbs shoulder, assuming correct chambering, will have the shoulder a little more forward, and therefore have slightly more internal capacity.

    My ackley loves H4831sc and heavy pills.

    Your welcome Woody. I think if I was him I would have the barrel set back and get it re-chambered to 280 Ackley Improved, unless it is a sentimental or valuable rifle. The AI is just about as good works the brass less and is easier all around to load for.
