7/08 A.i???

Ive put together the makings of a 7/08 A.I project.I was wondering a few things.First will I be able to shoot factory 7/08 offerings.Secondly what kind of gain in velocity can I expect.Ill most likely be loading 130's and 140's.Thanks

yes you can shoot 7-08 factory rounds to fire form, and expect 100-150 fps gain over the vanilla 7-08 (140 @ 3000 fps)

7-08 ai

Haven't loaded for one, but I'd be surprised at that much velocity increase assuming equal pressures as the standard case isn't tapered much (not like a 7x57 or similar). How much extra powder does the AI have over the standard case?
