[QUOTE="dbleyepatches, post: 350553, member: 22696"] When I contacted Hodgdon about load data for the 22-250 ackley they said that Ackley recommended using the load data from the 220 swift. I used 4000 fps in the calculation because a friend of mine has a 220 swift that will chronograph 4020 fps with no pressure problems out of a 26 inch barrel. I am not saying that my gun will do this, we will have to see. I am not planning on shooting coyotes with this gun out to 1000 just prairie dogs. This gun might not be able to reach out that far even on prairie dogs but I plan on pushing the limits. At 1000 yards it should have something like 130 ft/lbs of energy (according to the calculator). Thanks for the response, with the Burris Z rings I should have more adjustment than I have rifle! With this being my first attempt at shooting long range and using the turrets I am relying mainly on ballistic calculators and MOA charts instead of experience, which can be dangerous! Thanks again.
