[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1926329, member: 38048"] There was no failure in the tools used. The failure was the smith who didn't understand how an Ackley needs to be chambered. Your tools can all be perfect. But someone still has to know how to use them. This rifle is not perfect but it seems to belong to a competent reloader who understands what he has now. I would check and see how much the chamber is too deep and mark the barrel somewhere with a +.006 or whatever the number is. Just in case it goes to a new owner they will know. I'm getting ready to build another 280ai for myself. It's a dang nice cartridge. It's just about the perfect cartridge. Plenty of power. Lots of high bc bullets. Not bad on recoil. Not bad on barrels either. Very accurate. I really can't say one bad thing about it.👍 Good luck with it Doug. Shep [/QUOTE]
