[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 195964, member: 10755"] A long throat DECREASES pressure because the bullet has further to travel before it engraves the rifling,a short throat INCREASES pressure because of the opposite.Simply put,a long throat increases capacity giving you less pressure.This is how Weatherby rifles take such large doses of powder,because they are 'freebored' much further than conventional rifles. What you describe above is actually 'normal' throating,if you can seat bullets out to touch lands,then you have a normal throat in most cases. The magazine length in a WSM size action is the determining factor in OAL of the cartridge,which is very short against 'normal' length actions,this is why this rifle has a 'long throat'.
