[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1532782, member: 30592"] Well actually JE, if one can read and understand the SAAMI chamber specification, it clearly shows the headspace is less with the Nosler SAAMI chamber. If you fire form standard 280 ammo in a SAAMI chamber, it will stretch less than it will if you fire it in an original 280 AI chamber. If there is going to be an issue with fire forming off the shelf 280 ammo, the issue will be closing the bolt. If you hand load new standard 280 brass, you can compensate for this with an initial pass thru a sizing die. [/QUOTE]
