PS.....Anyone know if the AI version could be resized in a .280 AI neck sizer bushing die, with the right bushings?
Looks like it might work, but the OAL might need to be trimmed. Specs for the .280 AI show a case length of 2.525", while the case length of cases fired in my rifle runs 2.511".
My rifle is actually chambered for the .338 Howell, and the parent cartridge is the .280 Remington. When I received the rifle from Ken, he gave me some Lake City .30-06 brass that had been fire-formed in the rifle and resized in the RCBS dies, but the chamber was a little tight. After consulting with my gunsmith, I took his suggestion and just fire formed factory Norma .338-06 brass in my chamber. It has worked fine for me, and the head stamp is "more correct" .

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
