I think your terminology is off a bit....

Bullets are not AIed.... the rifle chamber requires alteration to make it an Ackley Improved chamber and after firing factory ammo the fired brass becomes AIed .... that may cost in the range of $100 to $200 I would guess.

Then you need a set of Ackley Improved loading dies... they cost in the range of $150 I think.

Then you would be able to fire a factory cartridge in the new chamber, it would blow out to the improved case and you would be able to reload it using correct loading procedures and your AI dies.

Depending on what cartridge you start with, the conversion may or may not be a good idea.... sometimes there is not a big difference in performance. Barrel length is also important in figuring this out too.
