Kimber 280AI.....which

[Elkwonder]

Does anyone know which shoulder the Kimber 280AI has.... 30 or 40 degree? I assume its the forty degree. I was going to order a set of dies tonight and it looks like they come in 30 or 40 degrees.
Also what die set is most recommended? Reddings three die set?? Thanks for any help as reloading is new to me and Im just trying to get set up.

Have to believe it would be the SAAMI 40 deg, but I don't know for sure. I went with the Redding comp seating, and full length sizer. Got the dies separately, not as a set. I believe new Redding dies are all the SAAMI version of 280 ai.

Don't know if that helps. Good luck!

Kimber uses the Saami spec.
