Not an AI shooter but my #1 go to Missouri deer rifle is a custom 338-06 a-square. Not much difference between the two performance wise. Favorite load is CFE223 and 186 hammers. Deadly one hole combo.
My 22" barrel is pushing the 186's at 2850 and it's a mild load.
Which powder and how has the terminal performance been? Main use deer or elk?
CFE223 and has been great on deer
I neck up 30-06 Lapua brass and go shoot. IMO on AI version isn't worth the extra fire forming. The performance difference is negligible. Especially in a short to mid range cartridge.
