Made a deal for a Kimber Montana .280 AI here on the site. Got to get me some dies on the way so i can try her out when she gets here.
I know the saami and wildcat are a little differant.
Will the dies matter?
Thanks

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

+1 for Redding. Been using the same set for 20 years.

Steve Eggers Been there, done that. You need Redding. Accept no substitutes. From the Redding website:
280 ACKLEY IMPROVED VS. 280 REM. IMPROVED 40 DEGREE
The SAAMI spec cartridge carries the approved name of " 280 Ackley Improved " .
The older wildcat has several names including 280 Ackley Improved 40�, 280 Rem Improved 40�, 280 Imp 40�, 280 Ackley, 280 Rem Imp, and more.
The SAAMI spec 280 Ackley Improved chamber is .014 inches shorter at the datum line headspace dimension than the traditionally accepted wildcat chamber spec as previously produced.
Our current production dies are for chambers that are cut to the SAAMI specification and are stamped "280 Ackley Imp".
Any Redding dies made before 2011 are stamped " 280 Rem Imp 40� " and are built to the originally accepted wildcat specs.
These older dies will not bump the shoulder of cases for a SAAMI chamber. In other words, the old dies are too deep for the current SAAMI chamber.
Redding makes a Competition shellholder that is .014 deeper than the standard #1 shellholder so the owner of a wildcat chamber can use the current SAAMI spec dies for safe resizing.
Failing to use this shellholder or to back the die away from a standard shellholder by a minimum of 0.014" will result in too much shoulder bump which may create an unsafe, excessive headspace condition when fired in a traditionally dimensioned wildcat chamber.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

If the rifle gets there before the dies and you have 7mm RM dies they should neck size brass and seat bullets.
