TrickyDick is an unknown quantity at this point
50-60#/1000sq ft is a maximum at one time. Only use pelletized or crushed limestone NOT powdered "Hydrated" lime as that will raise the pH way too fast. If you have acidic soil you should do it annually as one app will not make lasting changes. We do about 40#/1000 every year for all lawns and even then will never get a pH higher than 6ish.
