[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1296801, member: 2736"] The new SAMME 280 AI chamber is to long for standard 280 ammo by .014 to .018. the only ammo that truly fits the "New" 280 AI is the Nosler 280 AI. all other ammo should be fire formed to chamber dimensions. There have been many conversations on this and most smiths still chamber using a 280 head space gauge so that all ammo except Nosler can be used. The reamer is essentially the same on both versions of the 280 AI but the head space gauges used are different. If you can get a 280 rem head space gauge and test the chamber, you will se the difference. You can add shims the 280 gauge to find out how much head space you have. You should be able to get a 280 head space gauge for under $50.00. I would not recommend shooting the rifle any more until the problem is solved. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
