[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2489778, member: 101791"] I am presently having a 6mm/280AI being built. I was going to use a 06.270, 25/06 case and there is a few others that will work for overall dimensions. The main reason why I move to the 280AI case was because it was a little longer to the shoulder, than the others. I figured a little more powder couldn't hurt. (maybe wrong too) I am using a 700R LA action. I spent almost a year trying to get 280AI cases in Peterson Brass and I got them now. I now have 4 280AI dies. Not into changing out the bushing every step. I am using a 280AI Redding bushing die to reduce the neck. It take about 4 steps to get there. Now I have several 25/06's that I load for. What I did there to determine what case went where. I use 06,270, and 25/06 cases, and I believe that 7mm Mauser will work too. That way I could see what it was stamped to determine what rifle it went into. Now I am a little concerned about fire forming 06 cases into 280AI case, because of the length different from base to shoulder. It may not be a problem and work just fine. I haven't cross that bridge yet. I am going to here shortly. If you are using new brass. Cut to length or same length, Turn the necks first, then size down. That way were you put the stop. The necks will all the same. If there any uneven necks, it should be on the outside of the neck. Once fire cases that are not thinned it's the other way around. No load data yet. That's to come after fire forming and brake in. [/QUOTE]
