[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1272267, member: 2736"] As others have said, the AI is not necessary but it does give you more case volume and a more efficient powder burn and longer brass life. so this decision is yours. dies for ether round are very easy to find, so that is not a problem. If a 35 Whelen head space gauge is used to head space the chamber, standard 35 Whelen ammo can be use and fire formed with great accuracy while hunting. Magazine length ammo can be used and you will give up nothing. As far as the recoil lug, Always replace the factory recoil lug because they are NEVER perfectly flat. The 700 Rem uses a .187 recoil lug and I recommend replacing it with a ground aftermarket lug of .200 to .2285 because they are more than strong enough. Thicker recoil lugs are not necessary and some times weaken the stock because the recoil slot in the stock has to be opened up to except the thicker lug. As posted, have the action blueprinted and you wont regret it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
