Standard of AI, one of the best and most overlooked calibers out there. I have owned 5 both standard and AI. In my 35 AI, I have been shooting IMR 8208 for several years. It has been very accurate and I get topvelocity of any of the powders I shoot with 200 grain bullets. I like R-15 or BLC-2 for my 250 grain bullets. I am using a 24" Pac-Nor barrel and I get an average of 2910 FPS. with200 gr. Barnes TTSX and Cor-Lock bullets. With BLC-2, I get just over 2600 FPS with the 250 Speer and Hornady bullets and a little over 2500 with R-15. This round really gets the job done on anything from Deer to Bear and doesn'tkick like my 300 Roy or .458 Win Mag. I think it will wind up being one of your favorites as it is mine.
