My AI feeds just fine. I cannot tell the difference between standard and AI in that department.

If you think you will shoot 250gr bullets, the AI can get you over 2,400 easily (mine is a 24").

The only thing that disappointed me about the AI was I HAD to trim cases back to the stated AI length to get them to feed through the gate, due to that fat shoulder.

I was hoping I could leave the necks a little longer. I am kind of a long neck guy.

So I took .0005" off the expander and use a Lee Factory Crimp die (I had to modify it to work on the shorter AI case). I also anneal the Starline cases prior to fireforming.

I have even been thinking about doing the AI treatment to a 26" barreled 30-30...but I have other 30 cal for that hot rod stuff! lol
