[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 939347, member: 2736"] To disagree is our right and all I can say is I have done several dozen AI chambers with both the standard go gauges and the AI go gages and my way has worked very well and all of the AIs have shot well under 1/2 MOA while fire forming. I also have read everything I could find about PO ACKLEY to understand what he was trying to do with the modified chamber. He never intended for a AI chamber to be head spaced with a special head space gauge only the parent case head space. "BUT" once someone changes the case length dimensions (Like Nosler Did) I has been screwed up ever since. Now that the 280 AI has been standardized by SAMME the reamer makers have to make the NEW head space gauge For the SAMME spec. ammo. But all of the other AIs still have the Ackley dimensions. I respect your opinion and if I don't agree with it so be it. I will always head space the way I have described because I works and maintains Proper head space avoiding case head separation and splitting. The plus side to My way is it adds the .014 thousandths to the case that the AI head space gauge does not and does what PO Ackley intended in the first place. (To be able to safely fire parent ammo in the chamber. Note: To confirm this talk to the man that made the reamers for Nosler (Dave Kiff) and informed them of the problems they had created. Thanks for your respect and the feeling is mutual. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
