P.O. Ackley was a brilliant guy, and his Handbook For Shooters and Reloaders is a classic, must have book.
That said, keep in mind P.O. collected data from the designer of a lot of wildcats, back in the days before chronographs were common. He didn't work up the loads himself.
In those days, pressure and velocity were essentially guessed at, often by folks that wanted their wildcats to sound really amazing.....
There are loads in those books that scare the daylights out of me.
And, the powders listed in those books are from the 50's and 60's, and newer powders, of course, do not appear.
Great books, but I would be very, very sceptical about loads for wildcats from there.
