[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2272945, member: 4191"] Answer from Redding's website: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.redding-reloading.com/tech-line-a-tips-faqs/133-280-changes[/URL] They currently manufacture reloading dies for the SAAMI 280 Ackley Improved. And that die could also be used to reload for the original, traditional 280 AI... IF the reloader backed this resizer die away from the shell holder ~0.014 inches. The Redding article states Redding also manufactures reloading dies in limited numbers for the original 280 A.I. cartridge, as a custom ordered and manufactured item. And sell them at their higher custom die prices, no doubt. A guy could load for both cartridges with either set of Redding dies, IF he was in the know. The two cartridges are basically clones in every other dimension except the 0.014" shorter headspace on the SAAMI adopted cartridge. But many never come to that correct understanding. [/QUOTE]
