Read it again and I still read that you was having a problem making a 280AI feed properly. Hmmmm I am surely missing something.


Feed work is common on some custom builds.

Now if the work was performed and the cartridge didn't feed that would classify as a problem getting it to feed.

Huh....Not sure I follow what your saying...Well sure if it won't feed then it is a feeding problem. [/quote]

Here is the issue. The rifle fed as a 30-06 perfectly. When rebarreled to the 280 AI it required work to make it feed properly, but never did feed like the 30-06. I never said it didn't feed. I said it required additional work. There is a difference. And proper feeding, I've found, has very subjective definitions.

I should point out that I hunt coyotes and such with a 243 AI. It feeds fine, but required more work than the standard 243 to do so. I'm sorry if this offends you, but it is what it is. When guys are pushing AI cartridges because you don't need to trim them you have to know they are stretching for reasons to sell their cool aid.
