I chose a 7mm-08AI in a Remington 700 short action ... had the smith chamber it with a short throat and a tight no-turn neck and it feeds perfectly as it did when it was the SAAMI parent, and I get an easy 3150fps out of it w/ the 120g bullets ...

FWIW, I went with the AI version mainly for the case life and lack of having to trim cases...

If I want(ed) more than what the 7mm-08AI offers, I'd opt for a 7WSM ...
