Slightest bit of tension on the bolt handle at close with factory Nosler 140gr Accubond.
Sammi spec throat, although I haven't seriously played in depth with it to find the lands since I am only 45ish rounds in and the rifle hasn't sped up. Once I break over the 100rd threshold or it speeds up, I will start seriously playing with loads. Still have 350ish of the factory Nosler 140gr Accubonds to use up and with the accuracy I am getting, I am in no hurry to set down and work up a load.

There's no need to worry about the standard Ackley "crush" fit because pre-formed brass is readily available from Peterson, Hornady, and Nosler. Peterson is the best bet out of those.
.280 Ackley Improved
The .280 Ackley Improved casing will launch a 7mm, 120 gr. bullet over 3,400 fps. The .280 Ackley has a similar velocity to the 7mm Rem Mag, when using light to mid-weight bullets.

I have a different AI from Alamo and it shot a .200 group out of the gate with fireforming loads.
