[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1734961, member: 38048"] Not sure the 280ai would be that great in that action. Bullets would be deep in the case. 7mm-08ai throated long would be a better choice for the action length and barrel length you want to use. I've chambered ackleys for over 30 years and I just use the go guage as a no go. I've done a dozen 280ai over the past couple years including one for my 1000 yd comp gun. They worked perfectly with the nosler brass and hornady brass. And the standard 280 closes with just a little crush fit like it's supposed too. This is how P.O. Ackley made them. Basically just make it .004 shorter than the parent case. Shep [/QUOTE]
