[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 558612, member: 2736"] Just have the Smith head space with the 280 rem gauge and you will be able to fire form and hunt at the same time, saving fire forming. I just finished 2 rifles in 280 AI with matching chambers so that the owner could hunt with his sporter weight rifle using 280 Rem factory ammo and then load it for his F class match rifle and save the barrel for matches. Brass does last longer and rarely needs trimming. Both rifles shoot sub 1/2 MOA while fireforming factory ammo. PS; Both of these rifles have new Lilja barrels, so don't expect the same accuracy from the factory barrel. But if it shoots well as a 280 a fresh chamber and crown can only help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
