[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 419915, member: 5217"] How hard was it to open the bolt on the rifle and was the case hard to extract? Your chamber might be a little on the large side and that could be the cause of the primer problems you saw with the factory ammo. If it was me in your situation I would try to get some nosler 280ai brass and start working up again watching my primers closely. If you can't get the nosler brass and you have to fire form Rem brass pick up some cheaper cup and core bullets that are long enough to allow you to put the bullet into the lands and use a starting load for the 280 Rem with one of the medium burn rate powders you should be able to find data for the 4895's 4064 and perhaps some others. When loaded you should have some resistance to chamber the loaded round. I would measure any fired cases and compare my measurements to the measurements of the 280AI. If there is a large difference in your fired brass versus the accepted measurements for the AI with the 40 degree shoulder I would have a chamber cast done just to see exactly what is going on the the chamber dimentions.
