[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1452064, member: 51405"] I am going with Nosler brass on the 280AI I have on order. Bushing size will depend on neck thickness, so various brass may be different. I bought Nosler factory 280AI ammo with 168 ABLR and got (going from memory here) about .312 diameter with loaded rounds. Take .02 off of that and you get .310. I also measured Nosler brass and got about .0135 neck thickness, which would put a loaded round at .311...so .002 off of that and you get .309 bushing size. Don’t take my memory to the bank as I could be off by .002 or so, but those are the methods I use to get bushing size. Based on the above I would buy .309 and .310...I like to have more than one bushing - but you are right, those boogers ain’t cheap, especially if you get the nitride version. [/QUOTE]
