[QUOTE="TxAggie94, post: 1275243, member: 12272"] If you have the option, do you have a chamber custom throated for a hunting rifle? And if so, what do you specify? I'm trying to learn here, so bear with me :) I am in the process of planning for a 28 nosler build. I have not decided what bullet I want to try to use, so I will talk generically for now. My thoughts are that I want to seat the top of the boat tail approximately at the base of the case neck (i.e., the shoulder-to-neck junction). I am assuming this gives maximum contact between case neck and bullet for better alignment. At the same time, this should maximize case capacity. Is my reasoning sound thus far? From there, how much jump do you plan for? Does it depend on what you think the selected bullet likes? Do you try to err on the side of being either too long or too short? If so, why? Would you throat to touch the lands with the bullet seated as described above and then give up case capacity to find the jump the bullet likes? This is what I am leaning towards. Is there a better way to decide on throat length? Or am I thinking too hard? Do I just have it chambered to the standard spec and be done with it? FWIW, the magazine box I am looking at will support loading longer than the above length for all bullets I'm considering, so I should not be limited by mag length. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
