[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3069132, member: 14204"] I responded to your original thread, and no, it is not my fault for convincing you to go AI. 🤣 For a true AI, as Ackley intended, the only one is the .270 AI, which is also not SAAMI. IIRC, he did not explore the .270 Win (perhaps someone can shed some light). However, I have a few wildcats - .30 Gibbs, .30 LARA, and .338 Thor, thus far. I was thinking of doing something in ICL, but my .338 Thor already have ICL’s shoulder angle. "I" do not pay attention to whether they are in the SAAMI. I was pleased with all of mine. Only you can measure the value added to your investment/time and efforts. For a true AI like what you are trying to accomplish, load and shoot. Ackley designed his wildcats to fire the parent cartridge. For common AIs, they are fairly easy to find. It depends on whether the manufacturers keep them on the shelves or if they need to be specially ordered. I have been working with my go-to GS since 2003 and am very pleased with my experience. Depending on your action, yes. Most barrel manufacturers do pre-fits, but you must check their offerings. In our neck of the woods, [URL]https://www.x-caliber.net/bolt-action-barrels[/URL], and [URL]https://mcgowenbarrel.com/shop/full-custom-barrel/[/URL], and yes, I have used them and am very pleased with their performance. Improved or not, if you run them hot, brass life will suffer. Enjoy your new endeavor and don't sweat it. 🤣 [/QUOTE]
