Not sure where to put this, posted here because I figure it'll get more views:

Why do so many folks prefer the Ackley Improved version of a given chambering?

I'm still learning a lot about reloading & Savage rifles and what not, but I've generally gathered AI gives you a little more velocity. Isn't there a fair bit of work involved (fire-forming brass, special-order reloading dies, etc) with having an AI for another 100-200fps velocity?

Are there any other benefits?
