[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2096069, member: 10755"] As far as I know, with LOTS of experience with SAAMI chambers that do not match the brass being made, not once has there been a reason other than excessive headspace being the culprit when case heads separate. This is either a hand loader induced cause or faulty brass. There is an inherent flaw with the 280AI Nosler, they didn’t give the case negative head space, if you look at the SAAMI drawing, as pointed out by Mikecr, it has a .017” variance for the head space dimension. If it had had the case designed to have negative head space, like original AI chambers were, there’d be no issue. Scrap the brass and try another brand. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
