[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1665488, member: 2736"] When I did a break in on this rifle, I loaded the 260 cases with a middle of the road load for fire forming and got an average of 2890 with these loads. I did not have any factory loads with high pressure loads and wanted to fire form the new Lapua brass anyway. With the AI version being good for an average of 150 ft/sec more than the standard version and the other velocity improvements mentioned, 3000 ft/sec was not hard to reach with normal loads. (I don't load anything max anymore). Lots of people that are getting 3000+from 140 grain bullets without excessive pressures. The 7/08 does the same thing when AI'd and increases buy 100 to 150 ft/sec with this change. there are many reasons that velocities vary with different rifles and loads. but the AI's are very efficient and can be quite an update. I have built many 280 AI's and they can do more than a 7 Rem Mag with less powder. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
