[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1053003, member: 14204"] Efficiency is all relative! For instance, when I was deciding on my 1st AI, I originally was going for the .280 AI, but was always fascinated with the legendary Jack O'Connor's .270 Win. Most were telling me it's not worth the effort and expenses associated with it. That even drove me more to prove the naysayers wrong. With a 30" Lilja 1:8" 3-groove barrel, I am able to propel the 175 Matrix VLD near 3100 FPS out of my .270 AI with BR2 WW brass but settled for 2993 FPS (58 H4831SC) accuracy load ... for now. :rolleyes: In comparison, my hunting buddy is pushing the factory HSM 180 Berger VLD @ 2850 FPS out of his factory 7MM Rem Mag Weatherby with 24" barrel. IMHO, it's not too shabby for a cartridge 16 grains less case capacity. :cool:gun) [/QUOTE]
