[QUOTE="str8shoot, post: 419899, member: 26034"] Wow! 2.5 grains under Nosler's max load for .280 ai, and... that looks scary! Did you trim your brass after neck sizing? When you fire-form brass from a .280 you have extra headspace this probably stretched the web area. If you didn't trim your brass, your case may have been too long, spiking pressure. A spike like that will find the weekest part of your case. The shoulder of a .280 case is farther back than a .280 ai causing exta headspace while fire forming. However, the case length of the .280 is longer than that of the ai. Therefore trimming will be necessary. Hopefully others with more experience than me will chime in. I wouldn't shoot that rifle again until i was sure I figured this one out! [/QUOTE]
