[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2570530, member: 101791"] I have 270, and 30/06 Peterson and Lapua Brass. I was at the time setting up to build a 6mm/06AI build. In making my final set up to release for the reamer, I came across or looked at the 280AI case dimensions. The 280AI case is about a .1" longer to the shoulder than the other cases, like 25/06, 270, 7mm, 30/06 case in the AI configuration. Peterson brass makes 280AI brass. I do believe that you can fireform the case for others like the 25/06 case of size down other case to match the caliber. You are going to have fireform the case anyway. I am also looking at starting a 25/280AI rifle build. I know in having a rifle built going forward here, I'll have a reamer built for me on any new rifle I have built. Because I can set the neck OD in the chamber. I can have the barrel pulled and rechamber the barrel to use again. So I get a longer barrel to start with anyway. Generally the Smith wants to shorten the barrel at both ends to start with. The worst of it is getting 280AI brass to start with. You'll need to place an order in and wait. The last time Peterson made a run on 280AI brass that I know of was in Oct of 2021. You can email them and see when they are going to do the run. They will let you know about when that's going happen. Now I got 500 cases in one other. Graf & Son. The other is you will need to set up bushing die, or dies, to reduce the neck size to caliber you are building for. It takes me 4 steps to go from 280AI to .243. You possible will have do it in 3 steps in reducing the neck to caliber. You should be able to look up what the 280AI is pushing bullets in those grains you are talking about to compare. [/QUOTE]
