What greydog said.

You don't know if it will work unless you chamber some UNFIRED .280 factory brass. There isn't a vast amount of difference in the Nosler and Ackley chambers, so SOME factory .280 brass will work fine--and some might not.

I emphasize UNFIRED because there can be problems with some fired cases, due to them lacking the slight radius between the neck and shoulder.
