[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 1527580, member: 25190"] Most interesting thread on the internets right here. Just ordered a Proof Carbon 1:8.4" for what is presently an original 280AI chamber, and I am going to have it chambered to the SAAMI spec. I was trying to figure out if I need new dies, and I do, because all of mine are stamped 40 degree shoulder. I am no expert reloader, but I get results. I will say this- been using Nosler brass in a traditional chamber. I have had case head separation on the first firing, more than once, pushing at only 2800FPS in a 26". That brass is a huge limiting factor because I can't push it any harder than pretty mild loads without other pressure signs. So, in my real world but limited experience- the Nosler brass is no good in the old chamber, or my rifle has excessive headspace. [/QUOTE]
