The AI'd rifles I have are messed up in terms of resale value, function and cost of dies, special brass etc.
When a rifle is messed up with the AI infliction it no longer fits it's barrel channel, the barrel must be restamped with it's new caliber and nobody want's it for resale. There is also concern about personal liability on resale.
The brass does not last longer, it doesn't even last as long!
When a good case is fired in that gouged out chamber it pulls metal back from the shoulder area and neck stressing the brass there and making the case shorter.
It does not save trimming. It just makes the case shorter so those who don't understand it think it does not need to be trimmed.
I have several Ai chamberings, I don't chamber them to get a faster cartridge for the most part, I do it to make the brass last longer and it does, plenty of people want them so I can't see if there was a quality job done and the rifles are in good apperance, then I see no reason the resale would be that bad! If you want fast neck a .460 weatherby down to .17, shoot 20 grain slug 6000 fps, if you want your brass to last and improve the velocity some go AI, it's really not rocket science.

WOW!!! that's funny right there

The 06 AI is a waste of time and it has been written so a hundred times. On the other hand the 257 Roberts AI shines big time by improving it over the std cartridge.I have a 30-06 that I'm considering re-barreling. At the same time I'm considering a new cartridge for it.
I am considering having the new barrel chambered in 30-06 AI and now would like to hear from any out here that have done it before.
Was it worth the effort?
Was there any significant gains?
How long a barrel (I'm wanting to use a 155gr, perhaps a Scenar or Berger)
What were your experiences?
