[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1686121, member: 9308"] I have tried the 'lathe'-style cutters in the past but they won't 'hold' the set length for me no matter how much I tighten the set screw, so cases get shorter and shorter as I trimmed. Drove me nuts. Tried two different brands (Forster and Lyman) with same results. I needed something more consistent and repeatable. Then I found the LEE system and my problems were solved. You get the "[B]Cutter and Lock Stud[/B]" (SKU #90110) and you use these two pieces over and over for any brass you want to trim (i.e., you only buy this once.) Than you get the "[B]Gage-Holder[/B]" specific to the cartridge you have. I checked and they have one for the .280 AI (SKU #91295). The beauty is affordability, repeatability and it cuts SQUARE to the case mouth in relation to the cartridge case head. Every time I buy a set of reloading dies for a new cartridge, I order the Lee "gage-holder" at the same time and put it in with the dies, so everything is easy to find later.
