[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1403189, member: 68875"] That sounds much more like a bullet failure than a cartridge failure. I don't care for the NBTs myself. Especially at hyper velocities unless shooting them at varmints. Throw a different bullet, and I bet your results are much better. 6mmAI should rock a deer with proper bullet construction and shot placement. I have/had or done load development on many AI or other "improved" cases. And I love them myself. I have seen between 100 to 270fps gains in an AI conversion. Best gains I ever saw were when I rechambered a .250-3000 Savage in a 24" Rem to .250AI @ 23.5". I went from a 2900fps 100 SMK & 100 TSX to 3150 w. 100 SMK & 3170 w. 100 TSX. I also ran the 115 Berger HVLD @ 3100 after the conversion with no pressure. My second longest kill ever was that rifle running the 100 SMK @ 3150. A coyote @ 1327 yards, 2nd round hit. [/QUOTE]
