Yet we worship the 280 AI. We are a fickle bunch! smile

The Gibbs mandates one more trip through a die when setting up the brass initially, but really, is it that much more hassle than an Ackley? In fairness you can of course buy 280AI brass today which makes this somewhat moot.

And no, I don't own a Gibbs. Never saw the point. grin


Hmmmmm. Maybe just take that Nosler .280AI brass and neck it down to .277 Now that's a niche that needs filling and could once and for all make demand for the .270 Gibbs go away. The .277 Shootem. I like the sound.
