[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1572642, member: 69192"] My question is, "Why would Nosler differentiate from the Traditional .280 Ackley Improved wildcat by making their SAAMI brass .140 thousandths of an inch shorter than the traditional round and creating all of this confusion?" What they've done does not make any sense at all. There's a thread that was posted on here a couple of days ago, "What would you do" try looking at this one. The OP bought a rifle used, new unfired, bought some .280 Ackley Improved Redding dies, reloads and tries shooting his ammunition only to have numerous FTFs. He's seeking advise and trouble shooting, yet with this rifle he doesn't know if he has the SAAMI chambering or the Traditional chambering. He called the gunsmith who told him that he chambered the build with the "traditional" reamer. And....if he does have the Traditional .280Ai, what doe he do with the SAAMI dies that he has money in? It would make life a whole lot easier if there was a1/8th inch difference, however .014 thousandths is not a whole lot of difference. [/QUOTE]
