[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1403081, member: 12995"] I'm not sure what you mean... No, all AI chamberings were designed to be shot using the parent case for forming. Some AI cases have different shoulder placement, it depends on where the shoulder lands on the parent case. .270 AI might have a different shoulder than the .280 AI, because the .270 Win, might have a differently placed shoulder than the .280 Rem. Back in the day powder selection sucked, brass wasn't as pure or consistent, bullet selections were minimal, and given those factors, some of the AI's might not have been as big of an improvement back then, even so much as for P.O. Ackley himself to state the he felt some of them weren't worth it. But thanks to modern technology, some small capacity gains, mixed with better quality components, and slower burning magnum powders, we can get higher velocities with lower pressures. So, most AI's, if loaded with modern components to modern specs, can show massive improvements compared to what the old manuals show. That's funny you mention the Wby... I have a .300 Wby improved, it's called a .300 Ackley. ;) [/QUOTE]
