My standard 3031 load for the 170 gr. Speer bullet

is 30.0 gr. for a bit over 2000 fps in the standard 30 WCF case .. not the Ackley. My brother had a Savage bolt action .30-30 in Ackley Improved. You could get some performance with that because of the box magazine using spitzer bullets. But truth be told, the old .30-30 unimproved doesn't do badly. The Ackley improvement does help case life.
