[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 1107673, member: 23746"] I am pretty sure the rifle he owns is my old rifle. I have always shot 280AI brass through it and it works excellent as long as you bump the shoulders back and trim the necks to the proper length. It is far easier than starting with raw brass and fireforming or hydroforming. The chamber is in fact a 40* shoulder with a .296" neck. I had a set of custom Hornady dies built for the rifle based on three fired cases. J3464wost, Is the rifle you are talking about a LH remington 700 with a 26 1/2" pacnor bbl and a bansners ultra light stock? If so, It is my old rifle and you are right it is a 1/4-.5 moa gun all day long. Couple questions: 1. Are measuring your seating depth at the tip of your bullet or off the ogive? 2. Are you using FL sizing dies or Type bushing dies? 3. Are you sure when you are resizing that you are bumping the shoulders .0015" at a minimum? If it is my old rifle, I have never had an issue using 280AI nosler brass and have loaded some cases 6-7 times. [/QUOTE]
