[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2098261, member: 4191"] I highly advise not doing yourself the disservice of ordering a 280 Ackley headspace go-gauge from PT&G. Save yourself the grief. The owner of PT&G was himself, one of the "self annointed experts" on the Shooters' Forum that contributed to the false belief that there was no differnce in the headspace dimension between the traditional and SAAMI cartridge. Do you really want to buy a go-gauge from him? I think he knew full well of the 0.014" difference, but he instead became childish and an embarrassment to himself, in an effort to defend some Forum buddies that stepped in their own doo-doo over their knee high boots. It was the biggest cluster of technical misinformation from 'experts' I've ever experienced on any Forum. When the dust had finally settled, and the experts were thoroughly embarrassed, the Forum moderator deleted the entire thread. Which was really too bad, because the issue was pretty well resolved - and correctly. But the strain of the embarrassment was evidently more than the moderators could bear. I suspect one or more of their paying sponsers pressured the Forum owner/moderator to delete their mistakes, messes, and childish behavior. shortgrass has been gunsmithing for decades. Do yourself a favor, follow his advice in post #16, and shop Dave Manson or JGS for a 280 Ackley Improved go-gauge or chamber reamer, if that's what you want to chamber your rifle. [/QUOTE]
