What kind of input? I had one setback and rechambered to 220 AI and use RL16 with 50gr bullets to get a little over 4000fps with a 23” barrel. That is a max load.

I went from 49.88 average h20 capacity once fired in standard 220 swift to 55.12 average h20 on a 220 AI case.

Quality brass was an issue when I bought mine 15 years ago but they can be lasers out a looongg way. Took a snap shot at a coyote at 470yrds with just a bit of hold and dumped it. I liked the 77gr Berger’s for distance and 55gr Sierra 1390 for closer ranges. My gun liked h380

There are certain cartridges, with lots of case taper, that when you look at them are just begging to be AI'd.  The 220 Swift and Rem 6mm are two that come to mind.

I've always had a soft spot for the 220 Swift and if Lapua ever were to make brass for them, I'd probably have one built.
