Does anyone have some favorite safe reduced loads for a 17 ackley hornet.
I want loads 3200fps down to 22mag speeds. I wanted a 17 squirrel but right now I just can't afford one. So im going to use reduced loads in my 17 ackley hornet for now.

Last year I shot a bunch pf PD's with 10 grains of N120 and a 20gr bullet.Working from memory here.Seems it was in the 3100-3200 fps range. Quite effective out to 300 yards. Trick was me hitting them, gun did its job. Works on woodchucks also.

A nice stable load in my old 17AH: Win case, WSR primer, 25gn Hornady HP/mollied, IMR4198/10.2gn producing 3000ft/sec.
