So tomorrow morning I will head down and pick up my Whittakers Special - Tikka 22-250 1/8 twist. I have some talleys and for now (just so I can shoot it) will throw a 3-9x40 zeiss conquest on it. (I am thinking a SS 3-9X will be its permanent scope down the road)

I want to use this as a LW back country coyote/wolf gun in the winter here in Idaho, but I think I am going to have my wife use if for deer this fall - she doesn't like recoil much and we are talking about 150-200 pound mule deer - nothing too huge.

I have 75 grain hornady match bullets to load up and practice with, but for hunting - for her and I, I plan to load 75 grain Swift Sciroccos. Does anyone happen to have any load data for this combo? I am thinking 3050-3150 should be doable. That would make one heck of a deer load for the under 200 yard shots my wife is comfortable with, and should do well out to 5-600 yards when its my wolf rifle.
 
I'm doing the same thing but have only gone through the charge weight ladder so far. My gun is a rebarrel with a 24" Pac-Nor 3 groove 1 in 8

BULLET WEIGHT POWDER GRAINS VELOCITY

SSII 75 RL17 34.0 2886
SSII 75 RL17 34.3 2886
SSII 75 RL17 34.6 2904
SSII 75 RL17 34.9 2962
SSII 75 RL17 35.2 2996
SSII 75 RL17 35.5 2996
SSII 75 RL17 35.8 3051
SSII 75 RL17 36.1 3079
SSII 75 RL17 36.4 3125
SSII 75 RL17 36.7 3182
SSII 75 RL17 37.0 3185

No pressure signs but work up like I did, each gun is different
 
You should still be close to 2600FPS at 200 yards starting that bullet out at about 3100. That bullet should give you great expansion at that velocity.

Woods, what brass are you running?
