280 AI - Reloading Die Question

For those of you who shoot the 280 AI I have a question. I have a new one, and wonder what dies you use? I love Lee dies because I've had zero problems with runout with my 308. That said, I don't believe that Lee makes the SAAMI specification dies.

My gunsmith recommended Redding full length dies or a bushing die specific to my chamber. So what is your experience with 280 AI dies. Thank you in advance.

Chris, thanks. Is your 280 AI a SAAMI chamber?

Hi Lane
I usually use Lee dies too but couldn't find one in NZ with the SAAMI spec 280AI at the time I was looking so I got a Hornady die instead, no complaints it has worked fine for me.
Cheers

Lane this one is cut from one of the first foster/Manson reamers (only slightly lead geometry changed from this one) so will be within sammi spec
