Guys I know it is stingy to bludge free data rather than buy a manual; but I am told there is data for the 250 Savage Ackley Improved in some versions of the Sierra Manual and I wondered if anyone could look up and tell me what it says for bullets in the 115-117 grain range?
Interested in H4350, Varget, R17 if they are listed.
Feel free of course to tell me to go root my boot.....

Per my Sierra manual:
Varget 32.3-37.2 max vel 2850 h4350 EXT 36.2-42.2 max vel 2900 no data on R17
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

For using the RL-17 powder start with the h4350 data and work up.

For those interested in data for the 250 AI, today I laddered from 40 to 44.5g of R17 with the 117 BTSP Interlock.
THIS IS WITH A 25 INCH BARREL IN A BSA CF2 BOLT ACTION RIFLE.
Top speed on a 3 shot ave was 3044fps at 44.5g. The group at that charge was an impressive 0.8" at 125 yards.
40g - which in my rifle I would now consider a starting load - of R17, gave 2676fps.

Can't get good bullets down there? I usually just settle for bullets that kill stuff.
