[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 154874, member: 8843"] The AI stands for Ackly improved and was desgined by the great Parker O. Ackley years ago. the Ackley desgine take the case and blows it out to have minimum body taper and a 40 deg shoulderkeepig the neck length the same. A true Ackley chamber is actualy a tiny bit shorter where the neck meets the shoulder so that their is a slight crush fit when factory ammo is chambered. I'm a big fan of Ackley improving as it generaly gives you a little bit more case capacity and always longer case life due to the lessened case streching. Some cases benifity more than others from the AI treatment like the 250 Savage , with this little case is improved you can load up 100gr bullets to run right with factory 25-06 ammo. As to the origional post , you have plenty power to kill your red deer out to probably 800-900yds. You might want to be careful of the expansion of the Bergers I've heard that they can fail somtmes if the speed drops to low and just poke right through. Have you tried the A-max in this gun? , what powder are you shooting [/QUOTE]
