[QUOTE="mooredj, post: 3066431, member: 121913"] Two things: 1) I had actually thought of using an even larger throat angle of 3 degrees until I did enough reading to figure out the benchrest community had figured this out already. They determined that after shooting through a barrel set up this way, you eventually end up with a 1.5 degree throat angle anyways so you are better off starting out that way. 2) Almost every new chamber design is being set up with a 1.5 degree throat. This is not by guessing. As noted, some of the most accurate cartridges use this design because it is forgiving and it works. [/QUOTE]
