[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2469271, member: 101791"] I have the reamer presently and not looking to change anything. I don't know much about the 280AI's other than the case length is longer than same a 25-06AI, or 30-06 AI. When I was setting up to have the Wildcat built I wanted to try an AI configuration. I was strongly looking at 06AI case design, but came across the 280AI case dimension which were a tad longer to the shoulder than the other cases in the AI setup. My goal was to push a 100+gr bullet down the tube somewhere in the middle to upper 3000fps range. I note nothing back from TOM H on his chambering problem. I am well aware that two different rifles, and being chambered with even the same reamer there can be a little different. Now I am using a Bartlein Barrel Metal Grade 400MODBB Heavy Palma in a 30" 7-1 twist rate. Purchase in a 32" barrel length. and cut back to 30" I also got a 2nd barrel at the same time. The best part of this is, I am very close to having the rifle completed. Reloading equipment also have been hard to get at times. I been reading and up grading my reloading tools at the same time. Still have items on backorder too, but close. I wouldn't known all these tricks, if I hadn't really started to pay attention to L.R.H. [I] [/I]I now have 35 pages notes of info on what I doing and things that need to be done, and determination on what I am doing. I've reloading for 60yrs now, and still learning.
