[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1205791, member: 4191"] Good cautionary advice. I own a rifle I purchased used about 6 years ago. It's got a Brux barrel mounted on a blueprinted Rem 700 action. The barrel is stamped 280 A.I. The chamber is actually cut for the 280 RCBS Improved 30-degree shoulder cartridge. It didn't cause any dangerous incident for me, and I wasn't overly upset. I was surprised. As soon as you've received any used rifle, there's obviously the chance the chamber has been altered or the barrel miss-marked. I already owned a 280 RCBS Improved on a Win M70 action. Now I own two rifles in the same cartridge. If I blundered into a miss-marked barrel, I'm sure there are more out there. [/QUOTE]
