As a user of rifles chambered in original .280 Ackley Improved, I haven't found the definitive or entirely trustworthy answer to this question. It could be that the cases are more similar in length...

Make sure you havent screwed the seating die in to far. It can crush the case causing a bulge at the shoulder. Colour a round with the marker pen , chamber it, the scratches should show where the...

My 284 loads measure .314 - 315 with Nosler brass and 0.315-316 with Norma. Haven’t measured any Winchester brass but have some so can check

22" barrel shouldn't cause problems for what you're hoping to do. I'm chucking a 186 Berger VLD @3050fps out of a 21.5" barrel. Win M70, 168VLD, Fed 215 primer, Norma brass and 74.5gn 2225
