[QUOTE="WyomingShooter, post: 192787, member: 9529"] I have the 22-250 AI, 220 swift AI and similar 220 wby rocket, 243 AI, 25-06 AI, and I think I still have a 338-06 AI. The Gibbs version in all calibers from 6mm-338 and the JRS versions in two or three calibers. I am a firm believer in blowing out the '06 case. The accuracy and performance is there in all I have tried. For there purpose all the calibers I tried shoot very well and some are my best shooters. Most of my shooting with them has been short range inside a quarter mile. Both my 243 AI's shoot increadibly well averaging around 5/8" groups at 300 yards. Prarie dog poachers of the highest order. But really all of them shoot very well including the Gibbs and JRS. My velocity increases in all of them exceed or in some cases far exceed published data I have found. My Gibbs for instance typically equal or very nearly equal the mag counterparts in all calibers. For instance 264 gibbs equals 264 win mag, 7mm gibbs=7mm rem mag, 338 gibbs=338 win mag, 240 gibbs exceeds 240 wby mag. You get the idea. Very similar performance with extreme cost savings if you shoot a lot. [/QUOTE]
