[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 876375, member: 12282"] Title Sums it up.... I am thinking an AI chambering, but I know that potentially someday, someone will not want to handload anymore. I'm an avid reloader, but what about son, grandson etc.... The gun in question has a bad barrel, but is a nice 700 BDL from the 70's that my dad gave me when I was a kid. So its not a gun that will leave the family -- thus my desire to have it chambered in a cartridge that does not absolutely require handloading. As to shooting factory loads through an AI chamber, I get all sorts of threads when searching the internet. What I have generally read is that, yes, you can shoot them fine and accuracy will be OK, but velocity will likely suffer. And the larger the "jump" in case capacity with the AI version, the more the velocity will suffer.... But there are some posts that indicate accuracy is also off..... [/QUOTE]
