I have 50 pieces of new Nosler brass for my .280ai, but I would like to have more. Nosler AI brass is running over $100 for 50 ($106 at Red River, $113 at Midway). Norma Rem brass is running $60 for 50 at Midway.
I realize that it's nice to have the correct headstamp, but it is my understanding that .280ai will not chamber in a .280 rem rifle so this wouldn't create any safety issue (and I don't have a .280 rem rifle). Other than the incorrect headstamp, are there any issues with using the .280 rem brass that would make the extra $1 per brass money well spent?
