Which Sizing Die For 280 AI?

Which sizing die are you using for the 280 AI SAAMI? It appears that some dies are not for the SAAMI version.

That situation was rectified not long after SAAMI published the dimensions. Current production dies are correct. I ran into that problem years ago when I built my first 280AI.

If you look at the Lee dies, for example, they specifically say not for the SAAMI chambering. That is one thing that caught my attention.

I'm using RCBS 280 AI dies, the ones I have specify SAAMI dimension.

Ah. I haven't bought any recently. The dies from Redding I have work just fine for my Kimber 84L.
