Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does 223AI mean?

Swifty, I went thru the #1 loop three times. One required a new barrel, the others just a lot of tinkering around. End of the day they were good shooters but they damn near wore me out gettin' there.

First was an AB in 7x57. It got a new barrel of 28" and chamber for the 7x57 AI. Pretty much a shock to see how well it shot after that. Great cartridge by the way.

Second and third was a .257 Bob and a .22 Hornet. I never could get Bob to shoot anything longer than an 85 BT worth a chitt, but it was good for 3/4 MOA with that bullet. The Hornet never did particularly well until rechambered for the K-Hornet. It ran about the same as Bob after that, but only with the Hornady 45 gr Hornet bullet. Puked with everything else. They all went down the road...
