  I do reload for the 223 Ackley but using the heavier bullets from 68 to 90 grains.
  
  Here is some more information from another site:
  
  http://www.accuratereloading.com/223ackley.html
  
  Also, remember that the 223 Ackley case capacity is extremely close to that of the .222 Remington Mag., within a couple of tenths of a grain. You can use these loads for comparison.
  
  It has been pointed out previously that you can use the maximum loads from the parent case for beginning loads on the Ackley cartridges. Be careful when working up loads in these smaller capacity cases though since very small changes can create in very big results. Pay close attention to the OAL of your cartridge; small changes in seating depth will also create big changes in pressure.
  
  Best of luck!
