[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1009617, member: 22069"] A standard 22-250 reamer produces a long throat, as is. In two different barrels that I have had chambered for 22-250 (chambered by different smiths), best accuracy loads for everything from 50 grain VMAX's to 69 grain SMK's ended up seated within + or - .010 of 2.430" and around .080 from the rifling. 53 grain VMAX's and 69 grain SMK's showed nearly identical COAL's to the rifling (approx. 2.510). I would expect the 62 grain TTSX to fall into a similar OAL range in a standard 22-250 chamber. Based on my experience with the round, I don't believe obsessing over throat length in the 22-250 is a worthwhile effort. [/QUOTE]
