    I would get a 6mm Remington or 243 wssm before doing an AI, but that is just me, if you are looking for speed. I had a 25-06 AI. It was incredibly fast, but not more accurate than the standard and seemed to be a lot of extra work with fire forming. And, pushing the hot loads I could the brass really seemed to require major effort to resize. It just wasn't for me. Most people say the brass requires less trimming, but I never reached that point and returned to a standard 25-06. I have a 243 wssm shilen barrel that is just fast and accurate as can be.
