[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 1924356, member: 25190"] I had an original 280AI chamber that gave me a lot of headaches due to the newer SAAMI version. I was able to get it to shoot but the brass was getting so overworked that I had case head separation on the 2nd firing sometimes using newer SAAMI Nosler brass and SAAMI die set (didn’t realize there was a difference). To sum it all up, it was a huge learning experience that I do not wish to repeat. I had a new barrel cut with a SAAMI reamer and my troubles ended. I suspect this is your issue. [/QUOTE]
