[QUOTE="jeffwhip, post: 435207, member: 22355"] This is my very first custom built rifle. As such, I am taking the advice of people and going with it. There is a guy here locally in Phoenix who has a 280 AI and he had his built as a tight neck. It has INCREDIBLE accuracy so I was trying to get mine built the same as his. With all of that being said, my rifle will be a tight neck with a neck diameter of .311. I have a couple of more questions for your guys: 1. Because my gun is a tight neck, my gunsmith told me that I would not be able to fire-form factory 280 ammo. Does this mean I won't be able to fire form 30-06 ammo also? 2. Is there another kind of Lapua brass I can use so that I don't create a false shoulder? How about the Lapua 6.5 X 284? 3. Will a false shoulder effect my accuracy? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
