Have no experience with a 30 30 AI, but I have a 35 whelen AI and a 338-06 AI. Improving the 35 whelen is just a novelty as the velocity gains are very small. 338-06 AI gets about 50 -75 FPS more than the standard, so it really doesn't gain much either. I just like oddball cartridges also, and the blank look on someone's face at the hunting camp when you tell them its a 'three thirty-eight aught six Ackley improved'  Ha, yeah! And thanks. Of course I have .308s and .30-06s so I don't "need" a .30-30 AI, but I wanted one. P.O. Ackley's loads for this are pretty hot, and I have not even tried his max loads (and won't). At the time he came up with this there were not many ball powders available, so IMRs 3031 and 4198 got quite a workout. What's been interesting are the tests with Hornady LVR so far. More lead downrange tomorrow, Lord willin'.
