My P.O. Ackley vol no. 1 calls the 22-250 AI a very good cartridge and refers to Swift load data as equivalent so I'm guessing 100-200 fps for the AI over the standard 22-250.

Really thinking I will try the 62 or 75 grain Scirocco's though.. They seem to be a pretty wicked bullet and they can get some good speeds from the Ackley case. Semper Fi
