In .260, you can get an extra 200fps easily out of switching to AI.

With about ten guys shooting .260 Rem locally, and one shooting the Ackley version, this is not our experience at all.
Prior to Reloder 17, the two most common .260 Rem loads for long range were a 139 or 142 using H4350 or H4831SC at 2830 - 2860 fps. The one guy shooting .260AI got about 2950 fps on his first barrel. Second barrel was 2900-2930.
With Reloder 17, the standard .260 Rem shooters are now getting 2900-2975 fps. The .260 Ackley guy is still using H4831SC.
I am loading a 139gr Scenar at 2900 fps using RL17 in my AI-AW.
