The point is if you paid your hard earned money for a product, shouldn't you get what you pay for? Would you accept a product that was messed up and still be charged the full amount for what you thought you ordered?

We have 2, 6.5-06's in the family that were built by Hart and both have the same chamber specs and we use one set of dies with no adjustments when using the same bullets. If you order dies from any manufacturer, they will be in the same specs with each die company. Even though the AIs don't fall under SAMMI specs, they still have the same case dimensions or they are not True Ackleys just a case with a 40 degree shoulder. I also have a buddy at work that has a .223AI and we both can used each others loaded round in our barrels. He has a Custom built Remington rifle and I have a T/C pistol.

I guess I am a person who wants what I ordered and not a refitted second. If I wanted a one of a kind case, I would just design it myself. The only other thing my friend can do now is send 3 fired cases to Hornady and have a custom set of dies made?????? That way he can bump the shoulder back when it is time to do that, I still don't see how you can only neck size without bumping back every so often??? I have 4 Ackleys and all need the shoulders bumped back at some time or another.

BTW, my project (.243AI) started with 3 fireformed cases from a friend in Idaho. Those cases match the fireformed cases from my EABCO barrel. Specs and the same.
