[QUOTE="DirectDrive, post: 2095684, member: 116300"] I know that this has been hashed and re-hashed. I've searched everywhere and conversations seem to end in a giant axle-wrap. Some say that you can fire a factory Nosler 280AI or Federal AI round in a SAAMI chamber. Nosler has been quoted as saying not to fire Nosler ammo in the "old Ackley" chamber. Maybe that's a CYA statement ? Here's my dilemma : 1) I would like my rifle to be able to safely shoot Nosler and Federal ammo. 2) My smith only has the old Ackley reamer. 3) Can the old reamer be used for this ? 4) How much "jump" is max for the factory ammo ? What if I used this information to set my throat ? My mag box is 3.7" and I would like to shoot 168gr Bergers when I can find them. [/QUOTE]
