[QUOTE="MT4XFore, post: 122620, member: 4945"] panhandlepr, I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting to know, but I have a 223AI and what you should expect IF your smith chambered it correctly is a rifle that will chamber and shoot regular 223 rounds that when ejected will have noticeably less body taper and a sharper shoulder angle. The slightly less body taper and the sharper shoulder angle are what increase the case capacity slightly. It is my understanding that the sharper shoulder insures a more positive(?) headspace and as a side benefit it almost eliminates the need to trim cases in the future(if you started out at the correct length of course) Its a fun cartridge and easy to get brass for. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
