    I'm agreeing here - sometimes it is good to stay to mainstream!

    Forming used to be a pain along with a bit of trepidation. Having a heap done with a good load you may not ever need to do it again depending on how much you shoot said rifle. Would I want an cartridge that required forming for a target rifle...hell No.

    There isint much gain over the standard to be fair but imo, enough to be usable.

    I have heard some amazing velocity stories from standard .260s that are better than I can get with the AI. Not saying they cant, but physics is physics.

    Maybe the brass is used only once.

    Barrel tolerances aside, gaining 150-200fps from expected standard speeds with a given projectile has to be unique?
