[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 838263, member: 2736"] Once again. In the interest of safety I am going to brake my silence and throw one more thing out that should put this to bed. After talking to the reamer manufactures. To get a good, clear answer to this rodeo. I have narrowed it down to one simple thing. "THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT GO GAGES FOR THE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRASS/chambers". IF YOU INTEND TO USE THE NOSLER AMMO/BRASS IN YOUR 280 AI you must/should use the matching head space gage for that chamber. IF YOU INTEND TO FIRE FORM THE 280 rem brass in your chamber you need to use the 280 rem go gage with .004 crush. There is .014 to .019 difference in the chambers and factory ammo. Simply put, There is a difference in the brass/chambers or they would not require two different go gages. To use the wrong gage or brass, ammo would/could be dangerous. In my opinion If you are mixing brass and have gotten away with it, you have been lucky. Armed with this information, Everyone is own there own. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
