Curious about the SAAMI standards vs what specs Ackley used for the casings. Is there a head spacing controversy?

If you are looking for factory brass, Nosler makes 280AI brass. Get it from midway or at Vans.

Most all reamers are now sammi. That said my gun was built at GAP RIFLES and there is some notice or fire forming that takes place when u shoot the 280ai brass in the gun.
I heard about some headspace issues before sammi took over.

The saami head space spec is greater than the original ackley spec which causes some issues if you shoot the nozzler cartridges.
