[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1114006, member: 24284"] From the top of the shoulder to bolt face the .30/06 is about .150" shorter than the .280 AI. From the neck/shoulder junction it (the /06) is about .072-.073" shorter. That's quit at 'stretch' for fire forming /06 brass to .280 AI. With the .280 AI you already can have Nosler brass that you don't have to fire form. If you're going to buy a reamer go JGS or Manson,,, PT&G reamers are not worth owning (or renting)! Going with a wildcat, like the 7mm/06, just so Lapua brass can be use really doesn't make much sense in the long run. I think the guys at PT&G will tell you anything, just to get you to buy a reamer.
