[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1404891, member: 21361"] Hello, I believe that in today's world, with all these powders and burning rates available any AI improvement ona case should result in increased performance. I have had a 6mm Improved and honestly admit it was a loser for me despite quality components. it took increased powder to get back to the standard 6mm performance and crazy pressures to better than. Partially that is because 4350 works so well in this case,a perfect marriage. When Ackley made his comments it was long ago, when powder availability was largely old 20mm cannon powder, namely 4831. You crammed all you could into the case and it was so slow you could not blow it up! Thats what made the .257 AI work so well. That plus the fact Remington screwed that case up worse than any other in history by releasing it in a pump rifle and reducing the pressure of the loads. Winchester then came out with the .243 loaded hotter then previous standards in a bolt action rifle and the result was the eclipse of the .257 Roberts,a fine cartridge in a bolt action rifle, the AI version even moreso.
