[QUOTE="DirectDrive, post: 2095972, member: 116300"] This doesn't add up for me. I thought that one of the features of the Ackley system was to be able to fire-form parent cartridges in the Ackley chamber ? Therefore, with the SAAMI chamber being LONGER than the Traditional Ackley, the .280 Rem GO gauge SHOULD let the bolt close when said gauge is in a SAAMI chamber. SAAMI chamber = longer______.280 Rem gauge = shorter This I can "get" because maybe Ackley wanted a little "crush" when the parent case was chambered to ensure safe headspace ? So unless I get confused again, it appears that the smart money, when chambering a .280 Ackley in 2021, is to chamber SAAMI compliant and then throat for the bullet(s) that you want to use. [/QUOTE]
