[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 555317, member: 9253"] To get the throat you want send a dummy cartridge to your gunsmith with the bullet you want to shoot seated to meet your requirements.. I tell the smith I want the dummy cartridge to touch the lands he cuts with zero jump. It's up to me then to make a proper dummy cartridge. If you can't load a bullet and case which meets your own requirements it's not likely your smith can make a chamber you'll be happy with. If so then pick a different cartridge, bullet, or action which will work together. I always send two dummy cartridges (no powder or primer) made as identically as I can with a bit of loctite to keep the bullet from slipping. Use brass prepared the way you plan to shoot it. Some smiths will send you a copy of their chamber reamer drawing if you ask. Specifying other chamber dimensions is likely to require a custom reamer. If that's needed buy the reamer you want directly from a reamer manufacture using a detailed drawing and send your reamer to your smith with the order. How about hearing from gunsmiths as to that they want from their customers. The above is what I concluded from discussions with Hart and Pac-Nor. [/QUOTE]
