    Ackley questions, FPS drop, ammo into other countries etc.


    So firstly, concerning a 338-06, it looks like you get about 50 fps more.
    I know you get better brass life.

    What is the FPS drop if you shoot say a 225 gr factory 338-06 cartridge in a 338-06 AI chamber ?? IE
    it blows out the case so I assume there is some velocity loss.

    Can you fly into say Africa with 338-06AI handloads with WB brass with the proper 338-06 head stamp ??
    or would they have to be normal 338-06.

    Thanks

    Can't answer the other two but in my experience you don't get better brass life with AI cartridges - you just don't have to trim cases nearly as much.
