I wound up with a Kimber select in .257. It will stay a standard .257.

One guy I deer hunted with about 20 years ago had a custom .257AI, and he was proud of telling people his gun had an "Ackley Improvement". I asked him what loads he was using, and he replied, "Winchester" grin

I wouldn't turn down a good .257AI if one came my way, but I would not go out of my way to build one.


A good .257AI has not come my way but a 257 Roberts LT (long throat) did and it has been interesting to compare velocity and accuracy results with my twin standard-throated Bob's.
