[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 770850, member: 12995"] Atleast chamber it to a .30-06 Ackley Improved. You will gain better velocity and performance. You can keep the same barrle, just have the chamber reamed to accept the AI cartridges. You can fire-form brass by using factory .30-06 ammo that will fire-form to .30-06 AI once shot. Then all you have to do is buy a set of .30-06 AI dies for it. Preferably neck-sizer dies as they allow your brass to remain fire-formed and will help your brass last longer by not working the whole brass, just the neck and throat. .280 AI is not even a belted magnum cartridge. They are based off the .280 Remington, which has a parent cartridge of a .270 Winchester. [/QUOTE]
