[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1260651, member: 4566"] It is a better case design......BUT.......it will legitimately give you about 18 ft more range than the AI. Ackleyizing a cartridge was a cool deal back in the day because most of the stuff available had a ton of taper and a shallow shoulder. The 260 will not improve like a 280 will. Also, the real advantage of the 6.5 stuff isn't the launch velocity, it's the BC of the bullet. An AI would be cool, it's easy on brass, but its not going to be a whole nother level of performance by any means. A deer or target at 746 yds won't know whether the 140 VLD that just smashed it was launched at Creed or 260 or 26 Nosler speeds. Run the #s, the BC is what does the work in a 6.5 based rig, not the launch horsepower. [/QUOTE]
