The gunsmith that chambered my .30 Gibbs used an Ackley reamer and cut it in to the Gibbs depth.[/quote]

Rocky Gibbs would call that a B**tard Gibbs, The Gibbs had a 27 degree shoulder but every time Mr. Gibbs mentioned it he would give out a different angle to throw off other gunsmiths. Sounds like an interesting character.

The best thing about the improved cartridges is more shooting time and more tinkering for me. But the 280 AI does seem to hit a sweet spot for the 7mm bore.
