[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 734225, member: 22069"] I have read similar things about the AI version and headspace control/case life. Regardless, the AI always has a bit of extra COOL factor, IMO. I'm just never sure I want to live with fire forming. If I were getting enough of a performance boost, I think I could accept the extra hassle. Anyway, that's always the sort of calculation I go through in my head when it comes to these things. If I could get 2700 or so from 225's in the 338-06, I would be pretty happy. I am pretty much thinking that I would develop a 185 class load @ 3000ish and a 225 class load @ 2700 ish and that would do whatever I need done. Of course, that all assumes my finished rifle likes those bullet weights... In the end, I suppose that the 338-06 doesn't qualify as a true long range cartridge. It's still an interesting cartridge, though. I am always curious to see what anyone who has one has to say about it. [/QUOTE]
