[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1170409, member: 2736"] As for shooting off the shelf 280 ammo, I'm not sure that will be a consistent issue. It would depend on the exact measurements of the ammo and the chamber. As an example, with a 17.5° shoulder angle, if you had .006" cartridge/chamber neck clearance that clearance would consume about .010" of that extra length.[/QUOTE] I have found that If the head space is set correctly - .003 to.004 less than the 280 head space gauge all factory 280 rem ammo seams to work well and accuracy is very good and in some cases excellent. This gives you the advantage of hunting accuracy using standard 280 rem ammo and fire forming cases at the same time saving even more money and having perfect fire formed brass that fits your chamber. (Even though you buy factory Nosler brass, it does not fit your chamber until it is fired the first time. Again, why limit your self to "ONE" kind of brass when you can use all other brands and in a pinch if you go somewhere and forget or misplace your ammo, you can buy 280 rem ammo (Very common)and the hunt is not ruined). In my way of thinking, this gives the older 280 AI an edge and is the reason I still like that version because I don't like to limit myself to one case or one bullet In my rifles. It doesn't matter which AI Version you decide to build they all perform great. Just an opinion (Everyone has one) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
