Andy,
Welcome aboard. I believe you may have to explore some of the on-line retailers to find the brass you're looking for. I note that several of the major suppliers in the States are showing "out of stock," however (Midsouth, Sinclair, Midway, Graf & Sons, etc.). You might try to Email Nosler directly.

Welcome to the forum.
Try calling Shooters Pro Shop at 800 285 3701.
Is fire forming 280 Rem brass an option for you?

That would work just fine for you, Andy. Good luck. There will be more brass in time. In the interim, you can use factory ammunition to form brass to your chamber.

The nice part about the AI is that you can shoot the parent cartridge factory ammo.
When you load 280 Rem ammo to fire form, you will want to use a 280 Rem MAX load, which is a starting load in the 280 AI. Also, there should be a slight crush fit when you chamber a 280 Rem in a 280 AI chamber. Because of this, you do not need to seat bullets into the lands.
My 280 AI has a 24" barrel. I can get the 160 gr AB over 3000 fps and the 140 gr AB up to 3250 fps. Accuracy with RL 22 is well under .5 MOA.
Good luck with the Cooper and let us know what we can do to assist you.
