I have a McWhorter built 6.5-280 Ackley Improved. I have the load data from McWhorter for the 140gr Berger VLD that shoots in the .3 range. Looking for data using different powders and bullets I ran across a post from here stating that the 6.5 Ackley Improved is the 6.5 Sherman, is this correct and I can use that data for different components? I just want to have back up data for this rifle if current components become completely unavailable, my current load uses N165 powder and the 140gr VLD Hunting bullet which is also part of the furnished data from McWhorter and I just see very little data for that powder. The Sherman data I have seen does not reference that powder at all.
