[QUOTE="DirectDrive, post: 2150809, member: 116300"] Good decision. Of all the "Ackley Improveds" 280AI is the most successful/accepted. It's the only one that has been standardized by SAAMI. [B]Don't get all Axle-Wrapped concerning the "old chamber" and the SAAMI chamber.[/B] That conversation will go around and around until every hound dog in the county is howling and chasing his tail. At the FRONT END of the project, tell your 'smith that you want to be able to chamber and safely shoot 280 Ackley Improved FACTORY AMMO. You can handload too, but you want to be able to grab some Federal or Nosler off the shelf and shoot it if the need arises. If he squabbles and blabbers that he doesn't have the reamer that's been out since 2007, MOVE ON. (don't get talked into buying him a reamer that he should already have) [B]Tell him you want to be able to chamber and safely shoot factory ammo PERIOD ![/B] 270's are good too. They are good for donor rifles for building 280 Ackleys ! :D [/QUOTE]
