.223 Ackley Improved Load Data
Alternative names: .223 AI, .223 Remington Ackley Improved, .223 Rem AI, .223 Remington Improved
The .223 AI is based on the .223 Rem but has been modified by gunsmith P.O. Ackley to have a steeper shoulder angle (typically 40 degrees) and less body taper. This design allows for more internal case capacity, which can hold more powder and potentially deliver higher velocities.
