Which factory 280AI rifle?

I went thru resized some once fired brass. With a Lee 280AI die. My RCBS die's hadn't came in. LEE said if u have a sammi chamber. Your brass mite not fit right using the Lee. I didn't know this. Should i take my RCBS 280AI full lenth die. And redo them again?
 
THAT seems odd!!

The dies should be to SAAMI specifications ever since SAAMI approved it.

Before then, and possibly still now, there were some improved designs that were not done by Ackley.
Some of those had 35° shoulders.

Since your rifle came out after SAAMI approval, i don't see why the Lee dies wouldn't work.

Try them. If you don't like them then you can sell them to me.
280AI is a cartridge i don't have yet, but want.
I'm still deciding on whether or not to send this boat paddle Ruger to @p_ham to rebarrel to 280AI, or keep it as 270 Win.

The answer is always 280 AI. It’s a way of life

At work the answer is always "yes" or "chocolate".
Both are kinda interchangeable. Lol

Loading up the 270, it occurred to me that all the rifles that I have based on the 30-06 case are Ruger 77 MKIIs.
25-06, 280 Rem & 270 Win.
 
Me and my daughter have shared a Cooper model 52 for the last 12 years.
It has a very long list of one shot kills on antelope, deer, elk and a few coyotes.
Ranges from 180 yards to 620 yards. Best factory rifle I've ever bought.
 
I was going by this on Lee's website. I thought they was when i bought them.
