.348 WCF-AI, yep, some claim 500 fps more velocity with the AI. Whatever it adds would probably more than make up for the 4" shorter barrel's MV loss.
Near straight taper of the .450 Alaskan-AI can cause feeding problems.
Not so much with the .348 WCF-AI, and adds case life ?

The 458 WCF looks like a great conversion. A friend has an early 71 with a terribly pitted barrel. This cartridge looks to be the perfect solution. Who does this conversion? Hopefully they can use the original barrel. Is there a 40 caliber version of this non blown out conversion?
