With 150-160 grn bullets and not shooting any animals out past 700-800 yards, is there any REAL advantage in the AI version to offset the price of already made brass or the cost of components to make your own.

What vel. could you see with say 140 bt with the AI 22-24" barrel?I shoot a 280 AI.
With that being said , the answer to your question is ''probably not'', IMO.
As far as the cost of making up your own brass for the AI; I don't see an increased cost factor, just some time. My forming loads are more than capable to hunt with if needed and are just as accurate as formed brass so the range time is not "wasted".
I also have and shoot a straight 280 and in reality it doesn't give up much even when I get out to 1K +. I am more the limiting factor!!!
FWIW
