[QUOTE="SouthPawShooter, post: 531864, member: 24739"] I agree that the 22-250 AI is an outstanding round. The Ackley I had was so accurate it was amazing I shot my personal best shot group with mine at .104@100 and a few.2s pretty easily.But answer you questions the one thing I did while fire forming was sight in with my factory rounds first then after I had some fire formed brass accumulated I did my load development and I would run them trough a chrono-graph I then put that info into a ballistics calculator then run one chart for each load (factory and fire formed)with it sighted in using the factory round at 100 and see were the Ackley round is hitting on factory round setting and start my chart from there and it worked quite well for me but it did not take long till I was shooting only Ackley rounds. Now if you go with a 220 Swift you wont have to put so much time and rounds down the pipe. Remember fire forming puts more wear on the throat and barrel to get the Ackley brass accumulated and a good load developed unless you fireform with oatmeal. I have never tried it I have heard it works well but again I have never tried it. The 220 Swift has the same ballistics and no fire forming not to mention you would save on powder and bullets depending what fire forming method you go with. Again I really enjoyed my 22-250 AI a lot but if I had to do it again knowing what I know now, I would go with a good 220 Swift in a heart beat. Good luck [/QUOTE]
