[QUOTE="gamedog, post: 304759, member: 8978"] Both are great rounds in there own aspect. I've been working a bit with my 223AI lately and am really enjoying it. Like you pointed out, less powder, less barrel heat, more barrel life, less case stretch. Brass is dirt cheap and fireforming loads is still putting the rifle to good use. I'm getting 3060 fps shooting the 75gr Amax's which isn't no 22-250 velocity, but still is no slouch. Lee dies are currently available at a very modest price and most Smith's can rechamber a factory 223 barrel into a 223AI if thats the route you choose. [/QUOTE]
