Thanks to all for the info. I need to shoot some loaded 280 rounds and see where I am at on this. I researched the fireforming prior to rifle purchase and thought it would be an easier process.

Yes, I did try the Bullseye. I thought maybe the Unique might do better since it was listed as faster powder than the Bullseye plus most have stated they used the Unique. The only case that I have that was formed properly using a parent .280 cartridge is one that the seller gave me when I bought the rifle. I have been using it as a guide to compare my fire forming brass.
dumb question? why not use Hornaday 280ai brass and go from there?
I believe you are right. I plan to do just that, reload and shoot some .280 Rem soon and will post the results.I happen to have chamber prints right in front of me! JECustom is correct don't over think this,, it's just too easy. Forget all the malarkey, it's straight forward load .280 Rem ammo and shoot it in the Ackley chamber. Now you have .280 Ackley Improved cases to reload.
