[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 492987, member: 2736"] I went through the same senero and decided on the 223 AI for many reasons. All of these rounds are very similar in performance and with ammo cost being a big factor today. I chose the 223 AI because you can buy good ammo for less than $10.00 a box and fire form while shooting/hunting. I also bought some Fine Lapua brass for the realy accurate long range shooting loads. I built my rifle on a Sako S 491 action (Very small) and it shoots factory ammo at less than 1/2 moa while fire forming to 223 AI. I use a 1 in 8 twist Lilja and it likes everything from 40 grains to 70 grain bullets (I have no desire to use heaver bullets). The AI will add 100 to 150 ft/sec to the 223 Rem and dies and reamers are standard items therefore are much cheaper. As I said the others are great rounds but the 223 AI matches them in performance and it is the easiest and cheapest to shoot. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
