[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1339896, member: 27307"] Your inherent prejudice is obvious.;) While you demean the AI version because of shoulder diameter alone, it is not the only variable which makes a difference in performance. The improved shoulder diameter plus the increased shoulder angle both contribute to increasing the case capacity. It's unfortunate though, that far too many only consider the Ackley versions to be necessary for increasing velocity by increasing the capacity. The reality is that there are some cartridges which benefit from the improvement for other reasons. The sharper shoulder of Ackley-style cases creates a better, systematic burning of powder, often allowing us to use a broader selection of powders which can enhance the overall performance of the cartridge even though the velocity gains may not be as spectacular as desired. This can be the primary impetus for the improvement. To label a cartridge as 'obscure' simply because H.G. Broemel forgets to include it in a cartridge library is ludicrous. There are dozens of cartridges which he [B]does[/B] include which are more antiquated and obscure than the 6.5-06 AI by many measures. Then there are the other cartridges which have been skipped for one reason or another, let alone the 100 plus mistakes I've noted in the most current version. I have passed these on to his company on two separate occasions and have yet to see or read anything regarding any changes.
