[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 834562, member: 39801"] I have read a ton of posts on this site and others, gunsmith bulletins, etc. I have not found anything that definitively answers the question in my mind. When it comes to reloading, I do not tolerate any uncertainty. Since I don't know for sure, I will continue to fireform. I certainly agree with the comments that all pre-SAAMI reamers are not all the same. That said, the practical side is that the PO Ackley design used a "negative" or crush headspace to allow for fireforming sharp shoulders. If there were a significant amount of "rogue" chambers reamed so that new SAAMI brass is 14 thou short, it seems to me there would have been a lot of legacy issues in fireforming from 280rem brass. I think the situation in general is both "bull chips" and "horse hockey" as it has not been definitively answered by a major company with skin in the game (at least that I have seen). Nosler??????
