[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1308232, member: 7"] [I]"It will do everything a Swift or 22/250 will do but better."[/I] Really?? Just what will it do better? [I]"The case only holds about 2 maybe 3 grains more powder but the accuracy... " [/I]The 223 AI holds 2 grains more, and accuracy is not a function of the shoulder, but the quality of the chambering and other work done at the same time. [I]"... and speed is mind blowing." [/I] The difference in speed, if both are loaded to the same pressures, is 80 fps. My standard 223 (a Winchester Heavy Barreled Varmint, with 9" twist)... 26.5gr of 8208 and a 55gr SBK hits 3540 fps with no signs of pressure. The 223 AI is not worth the cost of the gunsmithing, and cost of the non-standard dies... and 80 fps is not "mind blowing" [/QUOTE]
