[QUOTE="wapitiaddict, post: 1758593, member: 107569"] I've been doing a lot of research on this cartridge, including on this form. Most say the (lack of) velocity gains in the AI version isn't worth it over the standard. With one exception... I found a website, Jarret Rifles, that says "Most of our 7mm-08 Imp. rifles have a fairly short barrel, usually no longer than 20”, yet we get an honest 3050 f.p.s. with a 140 gr. bullet." Thats about 200 fps faster than the standard 708, which is quite a bit higher than other reports I've read. Most people report less than 100fps in velocity gains with the AI. But maybe I've mixed up my research....any thoughts? If I could get 3000+ ft/s with a 708 in a 20" barrel I'll probably do one. [/QUOTE]
