Agreed. If a guy reads the Ackley books you will quickly realise just how many guns he blew up over the years. You will also find a lot of his published loads in those books are way higher powder and velocity than any load data that is pressure tested like Hodgdon. A lot of Ackleys extra performance came from exceeding normal pressure limits, more so than the change in case shape. On top of the poor feeding, these were the forerunner to the short mags that also don't feed well, the excess pressure levels many load AI to, they also suffer from lousy resale. All in all, there are far better options than to AI something.
