[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1436365, member: 2736"] I originally went to the 260 AI because I wanted all the benefits of the 6,5 bullets and the efficiency of the AI design combined with the ability to use the several thousand 308 cases I had to fireform them to 260 AI. But before I finished the rifle, Lapua came out with 260 rem Brass and this issue was resolved. I prefer the actual/Correct head stamp on the case, and the Lapua brass fire forms great to the AI. Unlike some, I seat all bullets well off the lands to control pressure and find no accuracy advantage by seating bullets touching or just off the lands. In fact the bergers actually shoot better for me well off the lands as long as I do a good job of getting my loads concentric. The best primer I have found for the 308, 7/08, 7/08 AI, 260 rem AI has been the CCI Br2. the small rifle primers did not show any measurable difference over the BR2 primers to me. The AI case design "Does" show better powder efficiency and case life and all seem very accurate. The only down side to the AI design would be feeding in a gas gun. Bolt guns dont have a problem if set up correctly. Just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
