[QUOTE="yawn, post: 939954, member: 13540"] IF there is actually a difference it is the reverse of the above. With the nosler SAAMI spec being supposedly .014 shorter then standard 280 rem will be tight in that chamber , not loose. And if that is the case then you should feel at least reasonable resistance closing the bolt if not very hard resistance. I say "IF there is a difference because" after physically checking quite a few different rifles Im not seeing anything like .014 difference. Not saying there isnt a difference just that Iv yet to see it. Mudrunners advice on firing some standard brass in both rifles and comparing is a good idea. Posting the results here would be very helpfull. Ill just add that Iv had a cooper 280ai for many years and fired nosler 280ai brass with over 10 reloads with no trouble at all. It does not stretch .014 as the theory suggests it should In fact it dosnt stretch at all. Head space on the brass is the same fired as it is new out of the box. [/QUOTE]
