27.2gr H 4895 with 69gr SMKs puts a smile on my face every time. 27.5 grains gave me some hard extraction problems in hot weather so dropped down to 27.2.

You'll love the AI, a little extra oomph and brass trimming is pretty much nonexistent.

There are a bunch of guys over on www.asrealasitgets.com that shoot the 223 AI with the 75's.

They may help.

Would this happen to be in an AR platform? I love the .223 AI and have never even owned one, I have a barrel here that's just begging to have a reamer put through it but I'm worried that feeding will be an issue.

I run 25.5 grains of R15 in my 20" AR with the 75 Amax and get 2970 but it's just a straight .223, I imagine you could get another grain and a half into that AI and get a good 100 FPS or more with that AI.

I'm jealous.
