was thinkin about the 30.06 AI but figured to ask before ventured that way
You asked, "...is it worth the trouble?" What is worth the trouble to you? The 30.06 AI will give you about 3 gr more capactiy than the standard .06 That will not get you another 50 fps. Is the fire forming worth it? If the cool factor is is what you like, then maybe it's worth it. If i want more performance than the .06, I would look at the RCM, SAUM and/or WSM.
