To boatachnor's credit he did PM me and we had a civil exchange of information and opinions. I now better understand his original comments, but still think the 22-250 AI and the 220 Swift are reasonably similar in performance.
I shot a Rem 700 VS 22-250 for over two thousand rounds and then had the barrel chambered as a 22-250 AI. The primary benefit was to eliminate the need for trimming since I tend to load the AI version relatively mild rather than push it. I used the same brass for the AI version and now have at least six loadings on over 700 brass without trimming.
